About

I draw inspiration from several sources. Nature inspires me. I particularly like the Art Noveau movement and the way the pieces incorporate natural themes. Artists that inspire me are Jackson Pollock, Thomas Hart Benton, and Gustav Klimt. I love drawing portraits and am inspired by each unique face. I love experimenting with new techniques and different ways of painting something.

My creative process differs depending on the type of piece I create. With nature or fantasy pieces I tend to make several sketches and find photo reference on the internet before I draw it on the canvas. When I do portraits, I’m looking for interesting facial expressions or wrinkles. I’m looking for a challenge. With abstract pieces I generally practice the style I’m doing on paper with mixed media before I paint on the canvas.

 

I invite you to look around at my pieces. I offer a wide variety of artwork, but consistently I draw portraits, nature, still lifes, some fantasy and abstract. Thank you for taking the time to look.
