The Circle of Life Painting

I began my career in sales, marketing and training. In 1986 I started my own company making handmade jewelry. My jewelry was (and still is) crafted with gold-filled wire, Czech beads, lamp-worked beads and freshwater pearls. It has always been designed for comfort as well as beauty and style. My company eventually grew to have four sales representatives and two people in manufacturing. After more than 15 years designing modern jewelry, I began painting. My one-of-a-kind paintings offer interesting colors, a sense of movement, and texture. I briefly had my own art gallery (called Individuality) in Birmingham, AL, but I was forced to close it when I moved away from the city. I named my gallery Individuality because I believe that art is an important expression of personal environment and style. It must be embraced emotionally. It must meet the owner’s visual/design objectives and personality. My one-of-a-kind paintings have VISUAL textures, I create layers to obtain the final result. Like watercolor paintings, the surface is usually FLAT. My work has a sense of movement. The colors are selected after careful consideration of how they will enhance the overall effect. Since my paintings are so diverse in style, it is possible to own more than one. My focus is abstracts and paintings with floating images. I paint the sides of my paintings, so you have the choice to frame or hang the painting without a frame. Your art piece will have a wire on the back for hanging. To protect the painting from light and dust, it is varnished. Now that I am back in Boston, I am marketing my art online as well as to galleries. I want buyers who are enthusiastic about my limited edition, one-of-a-kind pieces. I want the purchaser to have the same joy that the paintings gave me when I created them.
