About The Artwork
Inspiration can come from funny places. For "Tomato Soup" it came from picking tomatoes out of our garden this summer. This was our second attempt at growing tomatoes in England. The first time wasn't successful at all. I can't even list all the things we did wrong. We learned from our mistakes and tried again. So, in 2016, we had a great selection of fresh tomatoes. I had no intention of painting tomatoes. It just happened. I had some extra red and yellow on my palette. I had just picked this bunch and washed them earlier in the morning. As I walked past the tomatoes on the counter, the light was hitting them favorably...and I decided to paint them. You might ask, what is with the white division in the middle of the painting? The intent is that while it is one piece, each square would be framed separately. In a way, it is a small tribute to Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup. I had just recently been to the Tate Modern for the first time, while Campbell's Soup is not there, his Marylin piece is. Seeing one of his pieces up close, helped me appreciate his work a bit more. Even if I have not really be a huge Warhol fan before. That is the story behind 'Tomato Soup'. A little bit of extra paint, fresh picked tomatoes, and a splash of Warhol. Mix them together...Tomato Soup!

United States
Grew up in Detroit, spent 18 years in Columbus, Ohio, lived abroad outside London, UK, and now live in the metro Chicago area. Always drawing, I learned to paint in high school with a focus in watercolor. With a landscape architecture degree from The Ohio State University and an MBA from Capital University, I put my abilities to work in designing and constructing golf courses and countless gardens. Eventually I transitioned into creating marketing campaigns for a major US insurance carrier. I began painting again a few years back to help encourage my children’s creativity. When my family was given the opportunity to move outside London, I decided it was time to take my work public. My work is inspired by my experiences. More importantly, I am trying to share those experiences through my work. While in receiving my Landscape Architecture degree, I learned to design using the genius loci, or spirit of place. I want that spirit to come out in my art. The choice of subjects is based on a passion for my interests. I work in many different mediums and styles. I love the challenge of trying something new, which is reflected in the diversity of work.
