My paintings are usually in mixed media on quality pre-stretched canvas, ready to hang without framing. It seems as though my themes in my work vary from time to time, yet it is a cohesive collection, in that many themes are repeated. I have a style of my own, somewhere between impressionism and abstract with conceptual and symbolism often in bright colors, ranging from minimalist to multiple layers.

The themes you may see more often than others in my work are faces, hearts, symbols, funky style flowers, spirals, stars, circles, water, coffee, wine, guitars and bold colors. I typically use Golden acrylics and mediums, Grumbacher Oils, Montana Gold as my main paint mediums. My secondary process for mixed media and collage will include any of these other products; inks, charcoal, pastels, conte, coffee, dyes, tempera paints, markers, water colors, crayons, oil pastels, various papers, fabrics, photography, clay and found objects.

I also do altered books, faux finishes, found art sculptures, photography and have worked on steel surfaces, counter tops, furniture, wood, clay, fabric and papers.

I am an avid learner and experimental artist, with a vivid imagination,  eager to share my enthusiasm for the arts. It is my hope you will enjoy my art and my blog. Please comment on my posts and share what you like with friends and other sites.

Yours truly,
