A recent transition brought me to the digital world, where I enjoy blending traditional techniques and new tools to repair damaged work and bring novel ideas to life. I primarily use Repaper, Photoshop, and Inkscape.

There's something irreplaceable about the sensations that accompany painting: the smell of the oil, the slick wetness of the gliding brush, and the stark contrast of color and texture as a brush stroke lands. Exquisite!

These media are unforgiving and difficult to master. Mistakes take considerable effort to correct and sometimes mar a piece so badly that it cannot be recovered. The challenge is what makes them fun!

From Adobe to Canva, I've had my toes in the graphic design pool for years. I enjoy creating compelling designs for flyers, websites, coupons, book covers, merchandise, and more! I've even been known to design characters.

While much of my art is two-dimensional, I also create tactile designs for decor, clothing, and even gifts for the holidays. I enjoy combining media and techniques to build three-dimensional art that surprises and delights!

My first love and my safe place, these soft, dry media are my comfort zone and, by far, make up the majority of my art. From portraits to landscapes to vignettes, almost all of my early pieces belong here.
