About Me

My photo
I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. I have done work in watercolor, oils, pastels, and collage, but my favorite medium is still graphite on paper. I love the simplicity of materials versus the complexity of creating a three-dimensional form using shading, space, and light.

"On Butterfly Wings"


"On Butterfly Wings"
Acrylic on Canvas

This is my latest painting. My inspiration for this one was a recurring dream that I had as a child.

"Humming Bird"


"Humming Bird"

Prismacolor and watercolor on watercolor paper

This piece was done using a new technique (at least for me). I used first watercolor, then added detail using colored pencil.

"Farm Scene"


"Farm Scene"

Acrylic on canvas


I used a photo taken while passing through Virginia as the basis for this painting. I loved the simplicity of the white farm house against the beautiful summer greens and the blue rolling hills.
