Bio
Art has always been a part of my life. Forever learning and experimenting. I had never received any formal training until I met Pat Lambrett Hould, an abstract artist. I found my way to the human figure and portrait. I like subjects with attitude, confidence, and playfulness.
My art is mixed media and collage:
My art usually starts with a color palette, shapes, or an idea. I prep the canvas and add gold, silver, and copper leaf, papers, or a combination of all. Using the leaf as a reflective light source under acrylic glares that create constant changing images. My work is a process of building multiple layers of leafing, collage papers and acrylic glares. Anything goes!
I try to be creative on the edge of abstract. My goal is to be the best artist I can be, with quality in my work.
