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.
I used acrylic and collage on a 20 X 24 inch canvas to showcase this majestic animal. The Giraffe looks as if it were put together by a committee-a deer based on its body, an ox based on its tail, the forehead of a wolf, hoofs of a cow, and a fleshy horn like a unicorn. What makes this animal unique is its neck, which defies comparison to any animal in existence.
