"Nature's art surrounds us and it's the colors and shapes of the natural world that most inspire my approach to making art. Creating these abstract designs brings me terrific pleaseure. I hope they bring the same to you."
I love being an artist. I’m self taught; I’ve always learned best from trial and error. In 2004 I began experimenting with resin and soon thereafter it became my career medium of choice. All of my work is of mixed media, and crystal clear resin is the catalyst throughout. The aesthetic properties of resin enhance everything I love about my chosen genre… enhanced textures, intensified colors, and reflective finishes that exaggerate depth and imply motion. Add intentional lighting to emphasize exactly the nuance desired, the look is deep, seemingly liquid, and frequently begs the question “OK to touch it?” My reply is always “Absolutely!” The finish is beautifully durable.
Working with resin means working within limitations of temperature and timing, but also within that structure is a surprising degree of flexibility that rewards spontaneity beautifully. Some projects are step-by-step processes that require staying on track from beginning to end, while others evolve in completely unplanned directions and remind me that patience is a virtue. Whichever the direction, each piece is a one of a kind original, typically two to three weeks in the making. Depending on desired effect, I work on either canvas or wood panel.
