My art is the end result of my creative career. First I worked as an advertising artist working mainly with fashion. I started experimenting with different forms of art in my spare time. I discovered weaving, I enjoyed working with the wonderful textures of the yarns and with the variety of colors avallable and experimenting with different designs both loom controlled and as tapestry. As I progressed I started adding designs that I painted on silk and putting them in my wearable art. These I sold both at art fairs and through several apparell markets across the US.
SoonI discovered I enjoyed the painting process the most and I started working with pastels. I liked that medium because of the texture of the paper and the clean colors pastels offer. I later included both oil, acrylic and watercolor as a medium. I paint a variety of subjects but my main interest is figurative / portraits. Many of my pieces of art include desigms from different cultures and the people of those areas.
I am pleased with my creative progress so far and look forward to continuing to develope my skill as an artist.
