Artist Bio:
Through my career as an artist I have painted in many different styles and with various mediums. My current work is focused on and inspired by the human figure and the connection I feel to my subjects. I believe when the subject matter is a person, my role as an artist-is a storyteller. My portraits come to life in a compelling way that tells who the person is. Mixed media artwork is the perfect vehicle for such connections. I connect and create on a deeper level, carefully unfolding the edges of their story in a captivating way. The stories begins with a portrait and then, piece by piece it evolves with layers of rich texture, mono prints, fabrics, and various embellishments. Using these techniques, I feel my work comes to life with the personality of both artist and subject. Each portrait is an adventure, exploring the unique characteristics and qualities of both.
