Allowing my subconscious to guide me, I paint intuitively, generally without a plan. Many layers of paint are applied in bright, clear glazes, intermixed with a collage of textures, papers, ink, gesso and gels. These layers create depth and dimension, inviting viewers in and enticing them to take a closer look. Viewers who closely examine my paintings pull memories from their own life experiences, enabling them to draw their own interpretation.
Artist Medium: Visual Arts: Acrylic, Drawing Media, Watercolor
Throughout the years, I’ve experimented with many different mediums and styles. I love the process of playing with a variety of materials and discovering new and exciting techniques. In recent years, a lot of my work has been centered around mixed-media. I find it freeing to be able to mix mediums and materials without the constraints of traditional painting rules.
