I am a life-long artist and an emerging painter, primarily working in oils. With a bold palette, I represent subjects that project lively color or curious form. I am inspired by shape, texture, light and color. I see images that I am compelled to paint, regardless of genre.
My paintings range through Still Life, Landscape, Figurative, Floral, Abstract and Structural. Having explored many different mediums, oils give me the most pleasure and a seemingly endless spectrum to work with.
Learning is a constant in my life and current painting study is evolving toward En Plein Air and Impressionistic forms, creating landscape, figurative and still life images with a more open and fluid approach.
I have experience teaching in Adult learning environments as well as recreational entertainment art venues. With a deep sense of adventure, I welcome the opportunity to explore new places, which always inspires my artistic tendencies.
