BIOGRAPHY
I am an artist living in Kentucky who has created for over 14 years now. I use many different mediums including acrylic, ink, charcoal, oil pastels, watercolor and digital painting. I'm not strictly a brush and canvas kind of gal... I also use my fingers, crumpled cloths, sticks, and my nifty computer to apply various mediums.
I adore and am influenced by Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, graffiti artists, Japanese ukiyo-e prints, Wayne Thiebaud, the Pacific Northwest, and Vincent van Gogh. I have taken university level art courses in drawing and painting and received my B.A. in art history in 1998. I have also completed graduate studies in art history. However, even with all of my fancy-schmancy education, I still create what I loved as a little girl- images with vivid colors, funky shapes and lots of texture.
Many of my pieces are created while listening to music. I like to convey the colors, movement, and textures that I feel while listening to various types of music. My work is also based on emotional responses to current social and political issues. More often than not, I just make art that I like. It's that simple.
