Paintings

     Painting allows me to create my own textures on canvas. The quick-drying nature of acrylics is well suited to the layering process. I weave color upon color, resulting in a surface rich in depth and interest. My challenge is to identify what has drawn me to a particular subject – the graceful drape of a puppy’s legs, the sheen of velvet, an audacious pink building. I apply layer upon layer to transform a blank canvas to my full vision.
     Shown here is a sampling of recent paintings. Unless otherwise noted, all works are available for purchase.
