Media: Oil, Encaustic, Mixed
Years Creating: 16
Residence: Acton, Maine
Training: Self Taught
I have been
painting since 1992 using oils, encaustic and mixed media to express abstract
thought, feeling, emotion and mood. I have degrees in Biology, Psychology and
Computer Information Systems and I draw upon passion, knowledge and experience
from these fields in my artwork. My paintings are also heavily influenced by
the nature around me. My homes on Square Pond and Wells Beach provide me the
opportunity to integrate the blues and greens of the lake, ocean and woods
that can be seen abstractly in my paintings.
I am interested in the relationships between color and texture and use techniques
that incorporate the use of brushes, pallet knives, spatulas, rags and many other
tools to bring out the expressive point that I am looking for.
