Many of my artworks depict a memory of water, whether that is of an ocean or a sea. Tissue paper was used for some images to emulate the crashing of waves and endless energy.
I can watch water just like I would watch clouds in the sky. It has a raw, yet beautiful essence.

I never get tired of painting landscapes. They can be so different from one another, but at the same time so similar. I enjoy working with variations of sky and playing with the position of the horizon line to create a vast or shallow landscape.

Flowers not only are a symbol of love and happiness, they also elude to memories of being one with nature. So many varieties, shapes and colors of the flower often find a place in my artwork. I enjoy creating it as an abstract feeling or simply as a representation of the flower itself.

There is nothing more breathtaking than the beautiful blending of colors created by watercolor. Watercolor is unlike any other medium. It has a delicate, yet bold connection to the surface.

I am inspired by surface textures and the layers of an artwork. I use gel medium transfers, iron on transfers, tissue paper, newsprint, watercolor, colored pencils and acrylic paint to create these unique surfaces.

These stunning images created from metallic tempera and acrylic create a bold statement. The unique textures, folds and negative space make for an engaging composition. The use of bright, fresh color makes them one of a kind.
