Medium: Oils, Acrylic, Pastel, Pencil, Pen and Ink.
Style:
Palette knife landscapes.
Lahaina Sunset
Technique:
I have used watercolors, pastels, acrylics, pencil, and pen & ink in the past. But, 3 years ago I picked up the palette knife and I have been using it ever since.
Inspiration:
Monet has been an inspiration. Art, in general, and Hawaii's dramatic landscapes are inspirations as well.
Spinnaker
Philosophy:
As with the impressionists, this technique encourages the viewers eye to wander through the thickly textured passages and visually blend the colors. Communicating what I see and feel through the use of canvas and color remains an exciting adventure for me.
Art Background:
I have been painting since early childhood. My mother was an artist and encouraged me. I am self-taught and have not had any formal training. I have been painting all of my life.
Birthplace:
Stark, Florida.

I'm from Florida and Georgia (St. Simons Island). I have lived in Hawaii for 20 years.
