I have spent a lifetime exploring the effect color has on people. As a make-up artist and self-taught painter, I consider myself a colorist. Understanding the effect color has on someone is key to my paintings. Floral beauty is my sanctuary, I respond viscerally and want to capture the feeling I get when I see, smell and touch flowers and nature. Each one of my paintings provoke an emotion that is pleasing, whimsical and delicious. When I paint, color and texture are the key components and consideration. Dirty canvas (painting over a painting), water-washes, resin, lacing and color smearing are the techniques I use with acrylic on canvas. I believe art should be enjoyed and accessible to all who love it. Most days you can find me in my studio painting and discovering something new the color and canvas have to offer.
