Painting is a way to lose myself into another realm. I love to make a mess then try to clean it up into something more organized then repeat.
Layering is a favorite way to paint. Rarely do I leave a painting after the first go but I love when that happens. There is something about a painted line on a messy canvas that appeals to me.
I enjoy working in and combining various painting media including iPad painting , photography and collage. I love stories. My work will often suggest a story I hope you relate to.
