My Recent Collections
BOLD BOTANICALS
I always like to keep my work fresh and creative, and my Botanical Collection in Oil Paint is a prime example of my inspiration to stay relevant and innovative. Creating this collection, I became very aware of each flower's own personality. I chose bold flowers with a clear focal point to add vibrancy and a feeling of joy to their surroundings. If you'd like to see more, please be in touch or come to one of my exhibitions.

ABSTRACTS
I have been an abstract artist and multimedia artist for over 20 years. There really is no limit as to what you can create with all of the wonderful materials and mediums out there. Lately my focus has been letting go with the latest high flow acrylics. This medium is very thin, water-like and impossible to control so you have no choice but to let go and work with what it decides to do manipulating it carefully to achieve the most cohesive and not too chaotic pattern possible. I usually go in with an idea and a color palette and modify as needed. They can be challenging, messy, and expensive but if you have the guts I recommend trying it someday. Every pattern will always be 100% unique. I also work with oils, wax, pastels, gouache, palette knife, impasto and other textures for faux finishes. Enjoy!
