As I start  a painting, I think about how I would like each painting to have its own kind of personality while still being a reflection of my series of work. Once I begin, my work begins to guide me. 

My paintings are created through a series of many layers and textures and are not created all at once.  I currently have 3 easels in my studio and this allows me to work on several paintings each day, unless it is a special project and then I will focus on that project.  

I work in oil, acrylic, oil stick, pastels, paint pens and  use a variety of textures like sand, pumice, glass beads or actual paint to create different kinds of surfaces and effects.
