Artist Statement
My natural art talent came by way of graphite on paper, which was great as I loved sketching houses and floorplans, but as a hopeless optimist, seeing everything in my world through rose-colored glasses, I loved color. I struggled to add color to my black and white art. I finally graduated to colored pencil, adding acrylic paint and pastels to boost the color, but the hours it took me to complete each piece was never appreciated. It wasn’t until I landed in a seedy condo on the beach in Hawai’i, where the former owner had left her moldy watercolors and some brushes that I decided to pick up a paintbrush and go for painting, but with the lack of control and detail, I find myself ever so slowly, drifting back to my beloved mixed-media.
