Artist Bio:

Her repertoire over the years convey her love of nature, texture, light and many other muses that inspire her.
She uses various kinds of techniques to bring her images to life which creates visual interest in her painting such as layering of color to create color intensity, razor blades for texture, salt, sponges and any tool that will create a desired look.
Her study of color theory has helped bring an understanding to her paintings which convey visual interest and life to her subject matter. Color, composition, and light are the trifecta she applies in creating her pieces.
