As a self-taught artist from North Carolina and a graduate of UNC, my work is an exploration of emotion, movement and texture. I create abstract paintings using cold wax and oil, drawn to the depth and variety this medium allows. Layers build upon layers. revealing hidden images and inviting the consumer to engage with the interplay of color, form, and texture. Nature, memory, and personal experience from long years as a Landscape artist influence my work. My goal is to evoke a sense of discovery, where each viewer finds their own interpretation within the abstract. Art, to me, is about connection- between artist and canvas, between what is seen and what is felt.
