Abstract Art Gallery

Abstract painting is an opportunity, for me, to retreat into my imagination and paint with my “mind’s eye”. I work to  create an imaginative environment which is inspired by observation.

REACHING FOR THE WIND

22 X 30 poured watercolors and fluid acrylics on paper

Award: special recognition award from the Northwest watercolor society's signature members exhibition.

Full Sail

30 x 22 poured watercolors and fluid acrylics on paper

My artwork begins with an adventurous pouring process that allows me the freedom to mingle colorful washes with passion resulting in what I call “Fearless” painting. I create work designed to mix emotion with inspiration and paint; thus, causing a fusion of representation and abstraction Swimming fearlessly in an ocean of vivid colors, I create an imaginative environment for this vessel as it sails across the open seas.

"ROAD TO BETTER DAYS"

12 x 12 poured watercolors and acrylics on canvas

In 2020 the world was put on hold with the advent of the covid outbreak. This painting was my attempt to remind us all that there is a road that will lead people to better days and we should all try to find and travel it with hope in our hearts.
