Hello and Welcome

Welcome to my website and my blog! Here I will share random thoughts and ideas- or they may seem very random. Just how I get from one painting to the next. What may catch my eye or a feeling or a mood. They say artists are very moody.

So yes my moods change and what I feel like painting changes right along with those moods. So, I have started this website with a few themes to go along with the many moods.

First, the floral and fauna. When I showed my work in the beginning this was where it seemed to catch people’s attention. No I am far from a realist in my paintings- it was the colors that got the attention. Coming back to this theme started actually last year when I started a vegetable garden. Yes, I was one of those folks that started a vegetable garden with the shut downs of COVID. The garden was a great place to have a project and I was surprised in myself how much I enjoyed the process. Of course, with those veggies I had to plant pops of color and then came the paintings- Zinnia, Good Fortune, and Hope- all from seedlings.

Finding creativity and the actual energy to create did not flow easily thru out changes and uncertainties of the last year. I was asked to do a painting which start this new theme of symbols. It may sound funny, but as I started studying these ancient symbols, I found more hope in the world today. A symbol for hope or transformation from hundreds of years ago gave me hope today. I had to paint them and I hope you enjoy them as well.

Our Best Pals, I have been painting for a few years- but some of these new pieces truly bring a smile to my face and I hope they do the same for you.

Home Sweet Home- again started a few years back as well, when asked to paint someone’s home. It has transitioned to taking quick pictures as we drive by and old barn, or a run down shack. I like to think my paintings bring them back to life.

The Abstract- I just love layering, color, and shapes!

The Minis- are a collection of all of the above. All 4x4 canvases. An affordable original piece of art, great as a gift for a friend or yourself. I am having so much fun creating these. Just one up on a wall or a collection make a fun statement. I have a few of these up on the website and check out instagram where I have pictures of all of them.

Please browse through my website and tell me what you think. Maybe, there is something that will match perfectly with your mood.

And, thank you for taking a look!
