My Art:

While formally trained as a graphic designer, I renewed my love of fine art through painting with acrylic on canvas. Sometimes I prefer to paint trees in all their silent wonder and sometimes the draw of the water holds my attention, whether it is the ocean or the lake, angry or calm. I often hear people say painting is relaxing and I jokingly say,  "Then you must be doing it wrong" as I find starting a new painting is like sitting at the top of a roller coaster anticipating the descent and lift, the twist and turn and even being upside down until finally the painting is done and I can feel it's finished.
