I am an acrylic and mixed media artist who loves color, pattern, and line. I consider painting to be an avenue of exploration through which I can investigate what I see and experience. As a self-taught artist, who has had the opportunity to explore without constraints, I have been fortunate to become well-trained in the use of and understanding of acrylic products through my years of affiliation with Golden Artist Colors, Inc. when I served as a Certified Working Artist and Artist Educator. The training has allowed me to develop breadth, depth and a tremendous freedom to express myself without worry over what might happen if I make a mistake!
