I am a mixed media encaustic artist and photographer. I have an extensive knowledge of drawing, acrylic painting, pastel painting, printmaking, encaustic, collage, and mixed media two and three-dimensional work. I delight in varied textures, shapes and colors and pick up or photograph everything I find that inspires me. All this natural and cultural detritus ultimately finds its way into my art.

I enjoy researching a topic, understanding all its nuances and details, and then, producing a body of work based on that knowledge that I can pass on to others viewing my work. In my art I start with color, focus on composition and finish with unexpected details.

Encaustic art can easily incorporate 3-D elements. It is composed of layers of beeswax, colors and textures of varied media and, sometimes, actual objects from the real world: leaves, flowers, wood, metal, etc. Your friends and family will enjoy viewing encaustic art on your walls as part of your art collection.

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
