I love being in my element and losing myself to the creating process. The moment that I walk into my studio I leave everything else out and begin to flow.

TECHNIQUE

Viewers of my art immediately notice the texture and the use of color. I often get asked how I achieve such dramatic peaks and waves of texture, as well as why and how I choose the subject matter.

As a Pacific Northwest native, I am instinctively drawn to natural landscapes and my subject matter is a representation of the landscapes that I love most in my home region. My paintings are created by a technique of mixing vivid acrylic paint with gel or paste mediums to produce a high-chromatic, multi-textured image.

My goal is to inspire those who see my work to look more fully at the world around them, to discover beauty in unusual or forgotten places.
