I have been making art all my life, developing my own style and techniques through practice. I love the flexibility of acrylics and acrylic mediums best, but I use whatever is best for each project. Although I took some lessons as a child, I am primarily a self taught artist who has learned through experimentation and time.
I seek a warm feeling or amused response when creating my art. I focus initially on color pallet and painting effects, which can be applied to any subject, but it often contains elements of nature. I lean towards more biological things and living things. I like to focus on a dominant feature of the subject, and bring it out with color and texture and good composition. Rarely is my process spontaneous. Each piece is planned, albeit with much intuition, but some elements evolve during the creative stream.
I’m planning a series on canvas for 2022 where I will be painting man made architectural elements and street scenes embellished with colorful murals from my imagination.
I work through an intuitive process as an artist. I seek creative harmony using color, pattern, composition, painted texture, and natural elements. I strive for art that is whole, magnetic, balanced, and joyful. Into my artwork I infuse my most high expression: kindness, consideration, empathy, connection, and love. I favor colors, symbols, and concepts of mysticism, magic, sacred wisdom, and joyful imagery from both visions and my imagination, as well as nature. I am very conscious of the energy that is in each mural or piece that I create. I attend to details that will surprise and enchant people. My work is culturally inclusive, especially my public art that is most precious because it can be enjoyed by everyone in the community to enjoy. Whether in my studio or out in public making art, I enjoy the inspiration of a very playful muse who loves to express all these things, has a passion for vivid color, and is drawn to a variety of mediums but favors acrylics.
