I have a variety of artistic styles but what I am best known for is my blend of mixed media and portraits. I love layers. I use vibrant colors to bring my portraits to life. I work hard to capture the person's personality or the warmth of the moment in each portrait. I use mostly acrylic monoprints, to add texture to the background. Chalk pastels are my favorite dry medium to use. I also like the combination of acrylic paint, ink, oil pastels, and graphite to build my backgrounds and to add details and texture. My goal as an artist is to explore different ways to create traditional subjects. Yes, I am a portrait artist, but I also like to create images that the viewer can relate to and/or create a story about. I know that my artwork isn't for everyone but I am no longer going to hoard my work with the fear of what others may think or say about it.
