FACE-UOFA

My work has evolved over the years from oil and watercolor, mostly representational, to mixed media and acrylic, mostly abstract. Living in the desert Southwest has encouraged me to explore stronger colors, vivid and exciting combinations and a much looser approach to my work. I like to work without a lot of planning – I just start and see where I will end up and it is often not where I thought I was going when I began. Many of my paintings are many layered, several paintings exist under the final one. All of my work comes from a spiritual connection between myself and the materials. One of my greatest pleasures is hearing what other people see in my work, how it affects them on an emotional level. I am always exploring new materials and fresh approaches to my work. It is a mysterious journey that I travel one day at a time.
