Art and Me

Art and me, our relationship is simple.  We play.  I love to explore and experiment with texture and colour and rarely do I have a preconceived outcome.  It usually tells me when it's done playing...and rarely are we done playing.  I work with many recycled materials because everything can be made beautiful.  In my textured work I use acrylics, tissue, wood shavings, gold leaf, crushed pearl, dried flowers, rocks and stones to hopefully draw the viewer in close and want to touch it...which I'm okay with...unless your hands are really grubby.  I take it as a compliment.

Art is a newer love, having only painted semi-professionally since 2004. I look forward to see how it will evolve as I do.
