  I love abstraction as it allows me to be intuitive and expressive.  Non-objective painting is soul nurturing for the artist and viewer. I don't subscibe to one particular style or approach with my art.  EXPLORATION is key. My mood dictates my creativity.  Lush colors and textures abound... 

I use multiple mediums, such as heavy bodied acrylic paints, acrylic inks, alcohol inks, liquid and gel mediums, charcoal and pastels. I like to collect sand or baby seashells and incorporate them into my paintings for texture...Using multiple and mixed medias lead to interesting and fun works of art! 

Nature is a big inspiration in my color choices and how I see combinations. I have serious wanderlust and love hiking, biking and traveling whenever possible.  I love being in or near water and appreciate the the influence these experiences have on my work. I am a photography junkie and my work is  often inspired by my personal photos.
