Bio:
The motivation for my work is nature and its colors, textures, and auras--singly or in combination--and the impact these all have on me. I love being outdoors: Camping, hiking, watching a sunset, and touring throughout the country have all influenced my work. My color palette has even come from textiles; I have seen material and cloth with beautiful color combinations and designs that are reminiscent of something one might see in nature--even if in an abstracted way. Sometimes I’ll take colors I’d just like to see together and turn them into a work of art. Each patron sees something different in my pieces, and that’s what gives me pleasure--hearing how my artwork is personalized by them. Some can’t figure out why they are drawn to a particular painting when the main color is one they are not normally fond of. Even art students are taken by my work and admire it. I feel that this accounts for why there have been multiple acquisitions of my work.
