I'm a person who gives all to everything I do.  I try to get the depth of my paints to draw your imagination into the painting. My work is abstract and sometimes leans to landscaping and floral arrangements.

I enjoy using textures, so I continually use it in my work while experimenting with different ways to achieve the textured look I want. Since I'm an earthy color person, I am studying and work with different color mixes all the time. I will often step out of the box by using colors that are very different for me. I find this very challenging and great fun.

Acrylics are my medium of choice right now. I work with large surfaces and a lot of textures. Acrylic paint lends itself to this process. I use brushes but most of all loads of tools, towels and textured items. It's not unusual to find me with any material or tool in my hand while painting. I also use many glazes which enrich the depth and colors in the paintings. This takes the painting to a very deep and layered finish. The 3D effects show through with the glazes and color mix.

Oils are great to work with and I would like to do more, however, I do find the drying time a problem. The movement and brush stokes with oils are unique, fun to work with and easier to manipulate.

MY GOAL i  To keep learning and finding new and interesting techniques. This is truly a never ending career. I find it so exciting and rewarding. I paint at least 4 to 5 days a week, and would love to do more. With every painting I sell, I continue to grin as it gives me the greatest pleasure to know that my clients find the joy  in my work that I do.
