Artist Medium: Visual Arts: Acrylic, Clay, Computer, Drawing Media, Fiber/Fabric, Watercolor, Wood
Working on canvas with acrylic, on wood with acrylic and burning, I like to create images that are realistic and some that are expressive, but not always both in one piece. I enjoy creating small works as well as large. Particulary interested in medium sized paintings and small Christmas ornamentals.
I am constantly painting life—from leaves to animals to people—very seldom do paint any sort of still-life without having life or movement within it.
One speciality I have is to create digital portrait paintings that transform a snapshot into something else, keeping the subject as the focal point, in a fantasy type reality. Example would be snap shots of a little boy who is in a wheel chair, and painting him playing soccer or soaring through the air on a dragon. Snapshots of kids struggling with self esteem and portraying them accomplishing what they might think is impossible. I also create digital portraits of loved ones who have died, in the arms of Jesus or hand-in-hand with other loved ones who have gone on before them. Sometimes for pets too—lost dog “Sparky” playing frisbie with Jesus, for example.
Christmas ornaments for $10.00, digital portraits start at $45.00. Acrylic and watercolor paintings I charge per hour, if comissioned. And my rate for those are $12.00 per hour.
Self-taught and constantly educating myself through what ever sources are available to me.
