MEDIUM: Acrylic | Encaustic | Mixed Media | Oil | Watercolor
SPECIALTY: ✔ Technique

My abstract paintings are done primarily with waxbased paints in a process that is intuitive rather than pre-planned. Layers are built up and scraped back in an effort to achieve a balance between complexity and calm; creating order out of chaos through color, shape, and line.

  • What kind of work do you make?
  • Tell me about your process. What are your paintings about?
  • What technical or color-related questions do you have?

Learning more about our preferences is an important step toward making authentic work. Every art journey is as unique as the artist, there is no one right way to proceed. I will meet you where you are and offer suggestions, exercises, and tips that will support your artistic goals. I want my mentorship artists to come away from the experience feeling more confident, more skilled, and more excited about their own art practices.
