The challenge to achieve the detail of realism with pastel, paint or pencil has always fascinated me. That moment when shape, color and composition come together, I step back and know the piece is complete - that feeling of satisfaction is what all artists strive for.

Capturing both likeness and spirit is a challenging and rewarding endeavor. Whether the subject is a young child, teenager, adult or your beloved pet, I always begin a portrait with the eyes. They are truly fascinating and are the windows to the soul.

Acrylic fluid painting is a combination of experimentation, movement and color. There is planning and technique involved, but allowing the paint to take control gives me the perfect opportunity to loosen up and just create.

The blending of art and craftsmanship is evident in this collection hand painted, unique jewelry that is wearable art. Also included in this collection are other everyday items such as coasters, book marks and key chains.

Art to wear. Art to use. Art to enjoy.
