I have experimented with a variety of mediums and subjects. What resonates with me the most is watercolor on paper. I particularly appreciate the naturalness of paper. Also, it is incredibly delicate to work with and leaves zero room for error. When painting a watercolor painting your marks on the paper are not correctable. With all other mediums you can erase or layer to make corrections. I love that a framed piece is protected with glass.
Currently I spend my time painting fancy ladies, fashion art and ballerinas. I am also exploring painting interior design/ décor and historical buildings.
What inspires me the most is black and white photography, fashion design that is elegant and timeless. I adore furniture and architecture that is old, has character and a story. My artwork has a perpetual and classic flair with a simple quality.
I paint out of my home based studio in Edmonton, AB, Canada. All of my artwork is original, hand painted with watercolor on heavyweight paper.
The art I create captures the feminine essence of a woman. Portrayals of moodiness and mystery grace the paper while maintaining an uncomplicated, minimalistic nature. Various time periods of style are explored in my works with an overall emphasis on timelessness and sophistication. A unification of simplicity and the depths of being are represented in a lovely way.
I am currently selling original paintings through Saatchi Art and Etsy which are available world wide. Proudly, my paintings have been purchased by private art collectors near and far. Each piece is handled and shipped with great care in an archival sleeve and protective packaging.
