I am a painter living in Florida where color attacks my senses on a
daily basis.
I am a University graduate with a degree in art.
I work primarily in acrylics and often incorporate different gel mediums
in my work. Sometimes it is merely to add dimension to a canvas and
other times to entice the viewer with lots of texture. I move between
brush and palette knives for different effects and in this way directing
light to and around the subject matter.
Over the years, my work has evolved into a more figurative and
expressionistic style.
I always see color exploding everywhere! Most significant, I think, is
my blatant use of vibrant color in most of my work.
My goal is to invite the viewer to want to look closer, to see detail
not always apparent from afar. I also want the viewer to look and
wonder, “why did she use those colors?”. I intentionally violate the
rules, juxtaposing cools against warms. Sometimes I want the viewer to
be uncomfortable with my use of color.
But, if it makes them stop and look and wonder………………then I’ve
accomplished what I set out to do!
