Digital Print

I was born in South Texas, where I have spent my life exploring the outdoors. My favorite classes in school were always art classes, wood shop metal shop etc. I loved to draw comics from the newspaper when I was young. I started exploring digital art on my computer & this led to works on canvas, which I began in 2012. It brings me great joy & happiness when I am working in my studio & am able to focus completely on the possibilities that artistic creation provide. I have been told I am slightly disorganized, a "dreamer". I'm a person who focuses on the end result rather than the immediate task at hand. I have always been creative and spontaneous, if not lacking in direction & focus. I'm a learner who is generally patient and a person for whom time is an ally, not an enemy. Painting for me is a journey. I try to keep my mind open as I paint, relying on images that come to me during the process. Although I do have preconceived ideas, the process is spontaneous. I'm intrigued by geometric shapes, stars, planets and seascapes. Patterns revealed in life are often reflected back to the canvas through the colored filter of memory, in a meditative process where form battles expression for dominance.
