Painting is my way of exploring soft light, atmosphere and the emotions that it can evoke. I'm interested in how a painting can change a room...The quiet it can bring or the mood it can hold for the people around it.
I build layered surfaces in oil, glazing and cold wax. As I paint, I often plan each piece's final presentation, including the frame that will best compliment the work.
I'm drawn to subjects that quietly touch the heart... From the soft elegance of peonies and garden roses... To stories held within cherished heirlooms...
And to the calm of an expansive horizon.
My background spans art, interior design and marketing. Returning to painting has brought those experiences full circle.
