Animal or people portraits that are symbols of a painting or commissioned. Go ->
Whether a garden, bouquet or a single flower, I love to paint my expression of them. Go ->
I love animals, nature and whimsy. At times they make a great mix for a creative painting. Go ->
Painting abstract is a deeper level of creativity that leads to a greater imagination. Go ->
As my art progresses it leans more toward abstract realism. My style has changed over the years because with each painting I complete inspires my creativity more than realistic paintings do. Realism for me is like taking a picture with a camera. There is no personal interpretation. So in my older age, I've taken this turn in my art. It's exciting as an older person to welcome change, new ideas and expressions. As my art style changes, yours may as well.

Acrylic
Oil
Soft Chalk Pastel
While I use each of the above mediums separately to create art that inspires, I also use them together for a multimedia and sometimes collage effect. I began making collages as a teenager in my highschool art class. I fell in love with the process, however now I have more tools and mediums such as inks, spray paint, oil pastels, charcoal, soft pastel pencils and more to be more expressive. Currently, most of the paintings on this site are a combination of acrylic and oil.
