Greenhouse Pink Tassels Painting

I am a painter, I paint in oil or acrylic on canvas often using my sketches or photos I have taken putting them together in a way I think tells the story I want to tell. I also enjoy Plein Air ( painting outside) setting up my easel around nearby sites or while I am traveling. I am lucky enough to have a sunny studio to set up multiple easels in my home, so the commute is short! Q- What subjects do you paint? A- I really enjoy natural elements, plants, trees and landscapes all make appearances in my work. Some of my artwork is very straightforward, a painting of a beach access or tropical plants for example. Lately I’ve been painting figures and animals in my work. To me Animals represent the natural world’s knowledge while people represent human knowledge. Often we as humans think we know and understand all that is happening, but there are many subtle energies that only animals understand. So these are stories about this relationship. grew up in the midwest county-side with parents who created a life they loved full of gardens and homemade bread. I had my eyes in the clouds, climbing trees and drawing were my favorite hobbies. I had many wonderful teachers along the way who inspired me. I even became an art teacher myself while I lived in Tennessee.
