Artist Highlight

 I am profoundly drawn to the organic nature of oil paint. I have found it both suits my personality and best represents the feeling and movement of the sea. The way it blends,  glows, moves and exists. It’s an incredible medium to work with.

    I make the brushwork quick and spontaneous, and shapes made up of lines, dabs and dots - only at a distance does what seems like a confusion of wildly applied paint turn into a recognizable composition. My technique is derived from my study of oil painting, and in particular, glazing which allows me to achieve the optimal depth and resolution. My current glazing technique is the result knowledge of the use of oil and resins. By employing glazing tried and tested in many paintings, I achieve the fascinating effect of depth in my latest variation of contemporary realism.
   

Although I am a self taught artist, I have been mentored by Edward Park, a great and Internationally recognized artist. Today I live in Naples Florida with my husband and display my work at art shows and festivals in Naples, Marco Island and South West Florida.
