Mixed Media Art

Before I ever tried painting, I loved working with ink. With a couple good pens (or a borrowed Bic) always on hand, I developed a habit of sketching wherever I was.

Ink is still my comfort medium, and I love combining it with watercolor and pencil, among other things.

Acrylics and Oils

For nearly two decades, I was most comfortable creating in shades of black and white. As color crept into my work, I gradually shifted toward brushes and canvas.

The joy I found in acrylics and oils snuck up on me. It feels less like work and more like alchemy; bringing subconscious and physical impressions together on canvas.

Inspiration flows best when I take intentional time with nature, music, and books.
