I live in the Portland Metro area. I have a home studio, but I also always carry a sketchbook and art tools with me when I travel. I spend a lot of time on the Oregon Coast and love to paint landscapes and travel scenes when I am away from home.
I primarily work in mixed media using collage elements as the base adding layers of acrylic paint. I enjoy seeing the painting take shape, sometimes going a different direction than I imagined. I often use found objects, recycled paper, and natural elements like leaves. I enjoy the challenge of taking something discarded and giving it new life.
