Contemporary
Landscapes and Abstract Oils - Palette Knife Paintings
My
paintings have transformed themselves from representational to abstract works
in the past year. The new work has been an awakening, revealing the inner
spirit of my heart. The paint moved from the palette knife to canvas releasing
the paint to tell its own story. My hand held the energy from within as the
mixing of paint colors ignited and nature's beauty emerged.
I
studied art and design at California State Long Beach as well as printmaking at
Otis/Parsons Art Institute. My interest in art led me to a career representing
artists and photographers located in Los Angles, San Francisco and New York.
Then in 1992 I took my first painting workshop with Maurice Larioux in Santa
Fe, NM and I was hooked on painting. I continued studying on my own and taking
workshops with known artists to learn the art of painting. I have been involved
with art most of my life. Printmaking, fiber-sculpture and graphic design are
all part of who I am with painting being my true love. I look to my previous
careers as very important since they were a molding of different mediums that
formed what I do today.
