My style of work is impressionism. I paint to express a feeling or invoke a better feeling in myself. For instance, in early spring when it was cold for longer than usual, I wanted to feel warm and sunny. I needed the hope that the season of cold and darkness would pass and the hope that flowers, rain, and warmth would come again. The result was several warmer toned floral pieces. I want to create more than something pretty. I want my art to set the mood, to bring hope, joy, or even humor.

I am currently using acrylic paint, although I love to explore different mediums of creativity, acrylic dries quickly enough to mostly prevent precious little sticky fingers from messing up mommy’s artwork!
