There is beauty all around us. My inspiration comes from daily life, nature, and curiosity of the world we live in. Other elements in my work are influenced by family, relationships and travel. I find beauty in the ordinary.
My goal is to inspire others to discover beauty in unusual places. My process involves careful observation and engagement of the subject. My work began as representational imagery though over time has followed a more non-representational approach. With each project a new idea emerges and paves the way for the next project.
Nature and figures are recurring themes in my work, whether it is a bird, portrait or a flower painting. I use traditional materials like ink, oils, and charcoal and repetition of patterns to create movement and harmony.
Cubism is one of the most influential art movements created by Pablo Picasso in the early 20th century. It defied the rules of art and turned out to be one of the greatest breaks in history. My cubist piece is inspired by Lump, a dachshund featured in many of Picasso's works.
This collage and acrylic painting was done on a 16 X 20 inch wrapped canvas board.
