For as long as I can remember , I loved to study illustrations from books. Especially anything fantasy and nature captured my attention. I would spend hours soaking in the images . It transported me to a place in my head where that became my reality and inspired me to create my own art.

Some of my favorite illustrators are ..

Sulamith Wulfing , Brian Froud , Cecile Mary Barker, Arthur Rackham.

Most recently I discovered pouring with paints .. a blending together of acrylic paints that has an amazing effect .

And with my love of brush painting , I add my own inspiration to the blended paints .

The result has been extremely satisfying and magical.
