MY BACKGROUND

With both parents being award-winning artists I joke that I was born with paint in my veins. But unfortunately, I never had any desire to paint. This was probably due to the fact that I grew up going to, and helping with, art shows from coast to coast.  My dad was a Naval Aviator, so I had dreams of doing the same.  That idea was quickly squelched when I realized I was easily susceptible to motion sickness and claustrophobia.

MY MEDIUM

I use many different mediums, such as acrylics, gesso, mediums, oil pastels, pencils, gold leaf, resin, and some collage. I believe that working in a single medium is restrictive to my artistic process. Each idea manifests in its own individual style.

My application process consists of MANY layers. This not only gives each piece depth, but also adds texture because I scratch through parts of every layer to add ridges. 

MY INSPIRATION

My inspiration comes from the freedom I have now that all four of our kids are grown, out of the house, and married! PTL! I am a creative soul and the possibilities of paint allow me to convey, in abstract form, the joy I feel in painting and creating. My expressionistic work reflects my spirit of exploration and my enthusiasm for always trying something new. My goal with each piece is to create something that encourages people to ponder and dig into their imaginations to discover what might be.
