Painting and making Art for me is the result of a lifelong marriage of my deepest passions: spirituality and creativity – the weaving of the mystical and the material, that which is, and that for which I long. Faces have it for me, for now…because it is the eyes that move me, where the soul peeks out and touches, pierces, teases and taunts. My art is mercurial, like me, and what it will be tomorrow is not what it is today.

STYLE

I have dedicated the full year of 2013 to Gouache - which i love to work with, and to see how far i can take it. I use my gouache as if it were oils, and take delight that many people guess my final pieces are indeed oil paintings. All media is joy to me as each one has its gifts to offer! Often as a painting evolves, it becomes mixed media. Love figures, faces, anything that expresses soul. For me art is as much a spiritual journey as it is a creative one. A sense of humor and whimsy play their roles in many of my pieces. I’m aspiring to move into ever-looser, freer, less objective art.
