Ripples at Paradise Cove - Right Diptych Print

My art is rich with painterly textures, layers of color on color and whimsical washes. Multi-layered paintings, drawings and mono-prints are created using various mediums, including chalk pastels to chunks of vibrant acrylic paints, oil encaustics and delicate, dribbles of gold leaf.  “Nature Close-up” series and “Feminine” series are exhibited on Saatchi Art site. “Nature Closeup,” artwork blends patterns in tide-marks, colors of sea grass as well as layers of the earth to express soulful, ethereal design. Raised in the country, I have closely observed earth’s formations which has become a thematic influence in my work. Inspired by old growth forests, desert landscapes and west coast beaches, my desire is to share a visually healing meditation on environmental beauty. The beauty of the air or atmosphere around sky, water and landforms are translated into calm, reflective art works. “Feminine” artworks are represented with vividly painted manuscripts, as well as mono-prints representing modern day women. Female gender is explored from modern day women to the ancient vessels of canvases and paper art. Through out all my art work is a love of color and soulful expression.
