Artist Statement

I try to keep my work upbeat for the most part, for one, because that’s just who I am, and because there are enough things out there that aren’t so nice and cheerful. Whether it’s a war raging or just the high price of gas!

Many of my pieces are done in acrylics with a lot of texture. I do a lot of dry brushing on my work and I like the fact that the paint is dry almost immediately.  Lately, I have been playing around with screen printing and making my own serigraphs. It’s a lot of fun but can get frustrating at times when the squeegee gods aren’t cooperating!

Stemming from my screen printing, I’ve gotten a renewed interest in line and pattern.  I’m excited about exploring this in my larger pieces as well as continuing to work with different textures.

I hope you enjoy my work.
