Artist Statement Inspired by nature, architecture and the sea, my joy in creating art comes when someone sees a piece they fall in love with, not because it’s something great I painted, but because they feel an emotional connection.
I mostly work with soft pastel, so in order to paint on canvas and other surfaces without the need of framing, I developed my own special technique combining pastels and acrylic paints. I also enjoy using modeling paste and a wet brush to create water color effects and textured layers.
My passions are my family, art and sailing. I live in Holly Springs, NC with my husband and two children, and I’m blessed to work from my studio here as well as my floating studio in New Bern, NC.
