I am an artist. Most often I
express myself through oil paint. I often do smaller mixed media compositions
using gouache, pen and ink and colored pencil.
The underlying theme through all my work is the use of color and texture.
What has influenced me most in the last ten year is my work with children
and the freedom with which they explore art concepts. Through them I have
learned having fun, taking risks and experimenting with compositions is often a
thrilling experience.
By frequently exploring, playing with the basic art elements and maybe a
little more sophisticated experiments with color theory, my compositions create
themselves. E
