Chandelier Painting

I’m an artist living in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I specialize in watercolor, pastel, acrylic, and pen & ink, but I love all art mediums, so will always be experimenting and trying new techniques and mediums. I am a self-taught artist and photographer, spending the majority of my career as a software engineer, using the left side of my brain. I began my love of art in photography back in 2004 and owned my own fine art photography gallery for a short time. Later in 2014, I learned to draw and began experimenting in watercolor. I have been using the right side of my brain ever since. I am fortunate enough to live in the beautiful state of New Mexico where there is a never-ending supply of sunsets, sunrises, rivers, mountains, meadows, forests, valleys, deserts, prairies, volcanoes, and wildlife to draw inspiration from. It amazes me just how much the colors of the high-desert landscape can change, going from muted tones of a mid-day scene to bold colors of sunset, dusky colors of a moonlit night, and on to brilliant colors of a sunrise. I paint the colors as I see them in my mind, so you can see what I see.
