I enjoy creating with bright colors. I use acrylic, oil, and oil pastel in my work.
My paintings often depict animals, fish or birds in space. I also create abstract paintings with complementary colors and lines. These works are often painted on a large scale to further emphasize the subjects’ personalities. The character of these creatures is emphasized by the size and scale of the work.

 

In these works, every so often, I invert colors in areas of the paintings to create a sense of tension. For example, a fish may be in both blue water and magenta water simultaneously. The materials that I paint with create different effects. Acrylic paint creates transparency and movement. Oil paint creates depth and luminosity. The final mark on the canvas is the oil pastel mark. The oil pastel mark is a mark that, once made, cannot be taken back. That becomes the final punctuation mark of a painting.

 

I accept commissions and take pride in portraying animals and pets accurately.
My work is in private collections across the United States.
