I love to make art and learn about art-making by experimenting in my studio, by viewing and discussing art with others, and through living and dreaming. I have been creating art professionally for more than 15 years and have studied under Indianapolis and D.C. artists, and in online art communities.
I paint, in part, to communicate visually. My paintings are abstract or representational, often inspired by nature or the curious images in dreams. I paint with encaustic (heated beeswax with damar resin) and fluid paints on wood, art board, canvas or paper and like to add fibrous and colorful papers, fabric, ink and found materials for fabulous textures. Sometimes I paint with acrylics.
I’m a Gallery 209 Member Artist in Rockville, Maryland since it opened in 2017, and a member of Montgomery Art Association and the International Encaustic Artists.
