“I am a painter working in multiple media and all genre but my preferred categories are portraiture and figurative works. I look for the gestures, the expressions, and the body language that tells a story and I enjoy being the story teller. I love color and recently have been exploring more with mixed media and texture. Aside from portraits and figures, I also enjoy painting landscapes and still life. I often wish that I could sculpt and maybe someday I’ll learn but in the mean time I am always open to experimenting with my painting and pushing myself to new levels. I also wish I could sing but that will never happen 🙂 and I’m OK with that.
