ARTIST STATEMENT
My art is a collision of texture and color, evoking feelings of deep thought and positivity. I focus and plan every painting before I ever pick up my brush. Every piece is a tiny adventure awaiting the right explorer to come along. From creations that make you do a double take…to art that reinvigorates your appreciation for the mystique. I hope to bring a smile to your face and a warmth to your heart! ARTIST BIO I relocated to Northern Kentucky over twenty years ago and quickly adopted the area as home. Being surrounded by fine art it naturally became an important part of my life. As a young adult I turned to photography and enjoyed a brief career as a photographer, but after tiring of portraits and a studio atmosphere I decided it was best a hobby while I focused on other pursuits. I remained creative and explored other techniques. Using non-traditional media to create beautiful works of art became a preferred, if unexpected, theme in my work. Finally, I discovered acrylics, incorporating found objects as an alternative method of applying mediums to my canvas. Simply household items like bottle caps, erasers, and chopsticks became assistants to my brushes and palette knives. In addition to my fine art abstracts, my visions are literally brought to life on canvas in an explosion of color and texture as I record and paint my own voice modulations…combining two of the five senses and creating artistic visualizations by designing a work of art around an audio sound wave!
