BIO: I love to explore color and texture in a variety of subjects...from foods to travel experiences to light shimmering on water or light reflecting on a city scene. I use bold colors and textures contrasted with soft colors and smooth textures.These transitional passages make me literally get my hands in my work. The tactile nature of my work requires a variety of tools, sometimes to the exclusion of traditional brushes. Some of my work has been likened to an architectural dig, revealing layers of texture with color peeking through. Multiple layers of color and texture interplaying against, over, and under various layers appeal to me.
