Artist

If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?

Painting

I am...

I am an artist, author and poet. I have written two novels, "Bound by Hatred" and "Smoking Mirrors. These books give a glimpse into the meaning behind many of my paintings and other work.

A high school teacher was instrumental in my artistic endeavors and his training has carried me through the evolution of my artwork. I now reside in Idaho. I am a wife, mother and a survivor.

About my artwork

I paint to replicate residual emotions, thoughts and expressions in an abstract, dimensional way. I am never fully aware what will come out, my paintbrush is the guide and takes on a life of its own. I use a variety of mediums and techniques to accomplish my desired effect of vibrancy, texture and depth. Each painting is done in detail and meant to be viewed close or far away. My intention is to evoke feeling in the observer as they hopefully relate in some way.

Artists I like

Jackson Pollock, Van Gogh, Picasso, Michelangelo (All of the Greats in Art History)

Interests

Reading, photography and art.
