Using many layers of color glazed one over another, I seek to portray the richness, depth and nuance of my subjects. My mixed media work incorporates multiple layers of paint, paper and collage for increased depth and luminosity.
I very much enjoy portraying nature—that perfect peaceful place in the woods, a bird surveying the world, the vibrancy of a bunch of daisies. Through color and value I give form and feeling to my visions and I offer them to you, the viewer, that you may share my feelings and see my vision.
Color is what attracted me to visually express my creativity. As a resident of the Pacific Northwest, I have been painting for over 20 years. I seek to portray BEAUTY and JOY in all of my work.
Shows in which my work has appeared include: the 1999 & 2005 Audubon Society’s Wild Arts Festival, Art Splash 2000-2002, the 2004-2006 First City Arts Faire, the 2000-2006 Annual Village at Willamette Arts Festival, the 2005, 2006 Wilsonville Festival of the Arts and the 2004-2006 Camas Wine Art and Music Festival.
I teach watercolor, acrylic, pastel, drawing and colored pencil classes.
