Watercolor - Pastel - Encaustics - Acrylics - Photography - Printmaking

My art is about imagination and the emotional component of color. I enjoy working with the pure pigment of pastels because they give me the freedom to use the rich colors that I love, adding vibrancy and movement with each stroke. Encaustics, painting with beeswax, is a constant inspiration. I enjoy experimenting with technique and texture in abstract. I also create collage/encaustics that tell a story and then enhance them with beeswax for a more dimensional quality. My goal in painting is to achieve an Alice in her looking glass effect, so the viewer's imagination will want to step inside the painting and live there for a moment.
