My Design philosophy
I am fascinated with form and color. Even though my medium and subject matter changes you will see form and color always play an important role. Movement is something else I love. I want your eye to move around the art as it reveals its story. My education was in fine art but I worked in advertising from the late 70s into the 80s. You will see the graphic edge present in many of my works.
My Inspiration
My inspiration is found all around me. Much of my work involves nature, the sensual flow of hills colliding together or the complexity of a leaf. I am an avid people watcher. I will sit on the train and create stories in my mind of who the people are around me. My cartoons are what I do when I want a break from my other work. It is an indulgence I only get to do once in a while. I find myself in a good mood and giggle the whole time I am making one. The crazy people I depict are more likely than not a mixture of many people I know or have passed on the street or yelled at in traffic! My professional inspirations include Georgia Okeefe, Tamara Delempke, and Edward Hopper.
My Materials
I work with many materials. You will see landscapes on this site that are oil, pastel, and encaustic (beeswax). And there are some pieces that incorporate all three mediums. The past two years I have been developing encaustic on sandblasted glass and metal. My graphic, cartoon work involves everything from pen and ink, pastel, watercolor and and colored pencil.
