Art to Live With

As a painter, I'm self taught and continue to experiment with styles, media and technique. I'm drawn to sensual and luxurious use of color and toward subtlety in the images the eye sees. I paint both with acrylics and oils because each medium, in its own way, offers opportunities to create images that are rich, interesting and slightly ambiguous.
The unpredictability of drip painting is fascinating in combination with the vibrant color of acrylics. But so is the richness, subtle texture and blending ability of oils.
My goal for each painting is that it be vibrant and have subtleties that intrigue the viewer and provide both immediate pleasure in the viewing and fun in the interpretation.
I hope you enjoy my work.
