MIXED MEDIA PAINTINGS
"I love creating non-objective paintings because I find the process so expressive. Working in Mixed Media: graphite, crayons, acrylic and collage allows for creative freedom. I begin with gestural mark-making and add colors, texture and shape watching what happens intuitively while editing and adding new shapes and marks in a continuous flow. I find myself building and removing layers, adding bursts of shapes and color - all arising and morphing with a flow of rhythm and intuition.
I am intrigued by the transformation of an artwork during it's creation. Each painting results in a new discovery of energy, movement, color, shape and emotion. Abstract art challenges us to look at art and in a sense the world in a new way.
I currently reside near Asheville, North Carolina. Surrounded by the Great Smokey Mountains, I find constant inspiration in the ever-changing panorama of my natural surroundings."
