Whether painting figures at the beach, dancers, people in everyday activities, or still life, I try to capture my first immediate impression by painting ala prima - in one session. Painting for me is an expression of the joy and beauty I see, and I hope the viewer might also share this response too.
"Soft Breeze" (above) is one of a new series of my model, Ashley, at the beach. Look in the figurative collection to see some others.
"Red Dress" has been accepted into the American Women Artists National Juried Competition to be held at the Huff Harrington Gallery in Atlanta, Georgia on October 14 to November 3. I am honored to be included in this prestigious event!
"Impressionistic work that rings true to her subjects. A dynamic, fluid energy with perfect hints of suggestion." Informed Collector, May 2010
