About Me

Exciting, uplifting abstract works, inspired by nature

(The question was, "What do you create?")

Pulled deep from a combination of childhood memories and current experience, I use watercolors or acrylic paint to create nature inspired, expressionistic works. Most often, I do not use photos; rather, I rely on memory of to inform my work with the energy and emotion of that moment. A simplicity of shapes gives a way for the viewer to bring their own experience. My emphasis is on color and light; to create a sense of emotion and peace. My artwork is a resting place for the soul, looking to nature for a much needed respite.

I knew as a small child I would be an artist and art teacher. I took as many art classes as I could in high school, and then went to college to complete my BS in Communications & Advertising from the University of Texas. Regretting that I didn't get an art degree as a young adult, I went back in 1999 to the University of Texas and completed a BFA in Visual Art Studies. Currently, I teach high school art in a Houston suburb, and work on my own artwork in my free time.

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.

Inspiration

Adventures!! My husband and I love road trips and offshore fishing. We both love photography, and I use my photos to stimulate my imagination.

Techniques

At this time, I'm loving to work with acrylic on canvas, working in layers. My favorite activity is mixing my paint colors!

Some days, I want to work small and I'll create in watercolor and ink.
