Creating something out of nothing gives me a natural high. Watching the page, as shapes and colors fill it, makes hours fly by and is really the only thing I do that truly feels like escape. The process consumes my brain so that all the thoughts, lists and worries of the day are forced out for a time. Intricacy of detail and bold, brave colors are my calling cards. My work is usually composed of one or all of the following; fine detail, high contrast, bold color, balanced curves and forms. It is at once bohemian and wild, and meticulous and restrained. It's just like me...a mirror to my true self. I hold a degree in Fine Arts and another in Biology. (Anatomical studies sometimes creep into my series.) I have worked as a watercolorist, fashion designer, portrait artist and graphic designer over the years. My ultimate goal is to create original works and prints daily that are accessible, joyful and whose sales allow me to contribute to the greater good.
