About Me
My Background
I grew up and have spent most of my life in the Midwest. I can't remember a time when I didn't want to be an artist.
My education gave me the opportunity to travel and see art created by the masters in person. And I was able to study painting in New York City for a summer.
My Medium
When I paint, I layer color and use gestural lines to create movement and bring my vision to life. I have found that Golden Open slow drying acrylic paint works great to achieve my desired blending of colors and lively brush strokes.
My Inspiration
I have always been inspired by life around me, whether that was the view out my back door or the fruit on my table.
Over the last 20 years, I have lived in the country with a wide reaching horizon. This view has been my muse for the last decade. The way wind moves in and around the countryside of Nebraska is awe-inspiring.
