About me
I am an oil painter and mixed media artist. I love traveling, being outside, photography, and connecting with nature and my surroundings. I feel like I am always gazing up at the sky, taking everything in, and am drawn to painting colorful, often moody, semi abstract skies and landscapes.
I have always loved creating things and art in general, but painting is a fairly new endeavor for me. I have five kids at home and over the past few years felt a push to paint. After dabbling in watercolors over the years, I eventually bought a set of acrylics, and later oil paints. I was hooked. Painting has become a love and a healing therapy for me. My style has evolved with time and I still feel like I am evolving as a painter. I really try to paint off emotion, a memory, an experience, or a simple impression. I hope to always create original artwork. My paintings are generally painted on Arches Oil Paper or canvas board with layers of paint and cold wax, creating bold, slightly textured atmospheric paintings.
