Biography
|
|
For years, my interests lied in figurative pastel drawings to portray different emotions in the female face. After all, looks can often say more than words. My attention has turned and now I paint to replicate residual emotions, thoughts and expressions in an abstract, dimensional way. I am never fully aware what will come out, my paintbrush is the guide and takes on a life of its own. I use a variety of mediums and techniques to accomplish my desired effect of vibrancy, texture and depth. Each painting is done in detail and meant to be viewed close or far away. My intention is to evoke feeling in the observer as they hopefully relate in some way. I have displayed my work in the local Full Moon Art Gallery and various Online Art Galleries. I have been fortunate in selling locally and online. I feel it is important to give back to the community, therefore I have donated pieces for local fundraisers. In addition, I thoroughly enjoy being commissioned to paint individualized pieces. Finally I dare to dream!

"To feel is to create and one usually inspires the other." I have written a novel and it is now available on Amazon. "Bound by Hatred" discloses the subject matter which was the inspiration for many of my abstract paintings.
