Years working as an artist: 10


How would you describe your subject matter or the content of your work?

There are elements of serene, bucolic landscapes and sky mixed with a tinge of trepidation and humor. Organic elements and color palette allow both mediums to merge together in this body of work.


What mediums do you work in?

Oil painting and encaustic


Can you talk about your process?

I think I love the process as much as the finished piece. It always takes me through a gamut of emotions, some of which I would rather not endure, but at the end I feel like I’ve conquered something. It’s good. I am also really drawn to the smell of beeswax and oil of spike lavender (a medium I use with oils).
