I create wildlife paintings with heart and soul. I use loose ink line drawings to create motion and abstractions within the piece. My color pallet varies from beautiful earth tones next to bright turquoise oil streaks. What truly captures my audience though is that first they feel the lightheartedness of the piece, but in a closer look there is often a real and deep emotion within each animal. The humanlike eyes in my paintings reflect the feelings within myself. They are mirrors, or self-portraits, but I allow each painting to go where it desires.
