This piece was painted plein air at Tanyard Creek Park in Buckhead, Atlanta, along the Beltline. The Atlanta Beltline is 22-mile (35 km) long multi-use trail on a former railway corridor which encircles the core of Atlanta, Georgia. The Atlanta Beltline is designed to reconnect neighborhoods and communities historically divided and marginalized by infrastructure, improve transportation, add green space, promote redevelopment, create and preserve affordable housing, and showcase arts and culture.

Experience

I am a multi-disciplinary artist with expertise in a wide variety of mediums. Over the years, my art experience has included mastery of a variety of mediums including oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, and line art. I occasionally work in collage. Currently, I am working on a 50-piece pastel project titled A Love Letter to America. The project consists of one plein air pastel painting done in each of the 50 states using a proprietary technique that I call Ambient Observation.
