Professional artist and instructor.
My love of art stems from a life long joy of learning. This joy translates into excitement and energy when I am in my studio creating, experimenting and, ultimately, learning! I strive to capture this energy in my paintings of coastal scenes, animals, and people.
I work in a variety of mediums including pastel, acrylic, and watercolor in a loose, painterly style. The biggest artistic influence on my work is the Impressionists and many of the graphic artists of the Art Nouveau period. My faith, family, and the fantastically creative children I have been privileged to teach over the past few years are my inspiration and encouragement.
I am available for commissions.I specialize in Pet Portraits and Vacation Commissions.
Pet portraits, vacation portraits, acrylic paintings, pastel paintings, collage, adult instruction, child instruction, workshops, demonstrations
