On the Canvas and Behind the Camera
I am spirited.
I see the world around me through rose colored glasses (because without them, frankly, I can’t see AT ALL.)
I create with emotion and heart. Sometimes it may involve wine.
During my workday, a break might include saving a baby bunny from one of my overly enthusiastic cats or using a palette knife to pry apart Legos. Waving said palette knife in a threatening manner along with shouting “Put down the bunny!” is also an effective strategy.
I approach my photography the same as my painting. Taking the picture equals a blank canvas. Working with images in the digital darkroom (SO glad life has changed since my undergrad days and I can work in the chemical free daylight) I merge what the camera sees with what I see (you’d think this would be same. You would be wrong.) This is an effective approach to housework as well.
I work with acrylics because I do not have the patience to work with oils. Weeks to dry? Really? In my studio that is a recipe for a super textured mixed media work, or in other words, sharing DNA with my cats.
QUALITY
PAINTINGS: Each painting is an original, authentic piece of art created
and signed by me. Only professional grade acrylic paints and canvases
are used. Each painting is finished with a coat of satin gloss to
protect from UV light. Paintings are professionally packaged when
shipped.
FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHS: Each print is made from an original image created by me
and personally printed by me on professional grade paper. For images and canvas prints larger than 13 x 19, I have partnered with a local professional photography lab. Only the highest quality archival inks are used.
Every print is signed. Only acid-free archival mat boards are used.
Most prints are shipped flat in plastic archival sleeves; larger sizes may be rolled in a tube.
