About me & my art

“I like to express the poignancy of milestone events and inspirational moments, whether spontaneous or anchored in ritual. I believe that when we treat ourselves, our ecosystem, and others in our lives with care and respect, we contribute to our planet’s healing. My art is a way I contribute to this healing. I invite others to enter into a dialogue with my work and spur their desire to clarify their meaning of life. Nature is my constant source of wonder and appreciation, beauty, and hope. I use different media in my artwork. I like drawing with graphite and use other drawing materials for life drawing and printmaking. I appreciate oil paint because I learned the dynamics of color, shape, and design in still life, landscape, and portraits. Later I focused on pastel painting, especially for portraits and landscapes. Watercolor and water media expanded my horizons into conceptual art, still using realistic subjects. Sometimes I like to mix media, but I often prefer using a dominant medium in my work.”

What others say:

Working on a new painting

“My latest foray into technique has been the difficult and various techniques of printmaking. This has increased my attention to the importance of value in any work of art. To me, art is a life long learning experience, both in technique and self -realization. Using different media and tools allows me to express myself in a way that feels right for my ideas. Sometimes, I like to play with whatever is available to me at the moment.”
