Textured Sky Painting

My childhood had a profound influence on my art. The rich culture of the Appalachian Mountains is deeply ingrained in my life and my work. In the past, my art was primarily an interpretation of memories and life experiences through the use of printmaking, mixed media, and collage. The last couple of years I explored digital imagery as a means of expression. But more recently I have moved towards exploring landscape as a means of expression; through acrylic and raw linen, I have been able to capture rural beauty.
