Studio Flex 1
Painting, for me, is a daily exercise in creativity, release, anticipation and humor. I’m influenced by everyday shapes and characters (real or imagined) and giving them a happy twist of color and whimsy. I enjoy playing with different techniques and using texture to bring movement and interest to my surfaces. Layering, building on color, whether it means adding more paint, paper, pencil or fabric all adds to the overall character of my piece. I even embrace odd shapes and the occasional slip of the wrist. Living up in the mountains has given me a new perspective on nature and the ability to find fun interpretations of what is outside my back door. Not only our majestic mountain vistas and gorgeous sunsets find their way into my paintings, but our beautiful black bears provide me subject matter that becomes more fun with each iteration. Good stuff for the soul and happy art for the heart!
