Bio
Statement
My venture in art started with a Mother’s Day Gift of an oil painting kit. Drawing upon my love of flowers and color, the kit allowed me to explore another world. Soon I was taking classes and meeting other artists.
Painting provides a voice to my unique vision of reality as I explore the wonder of color, form and emotion interacting on the canvas. Now, working in acrylics allows me the flexibility to build my painting with overlapping strokes of color. I place the colors freely and boldly using whatever I can get my hands on, including brushes, palette knives and sponges. I enjoy this contemporary approach to traditional subjects.
