Artist Statement:
Studying Shamanism and
mythology has deepened my
understanding of life and what
is sacred to many cultures
around the world. Shaman
interpret dreams by analyzing
the symbolic messages they are
given. My compositions are
based on these symbolic
messages.
My techniques had their roots
in traditional watercolor
painting and evolved into
mixed media. I paint with
pastels and acrylic paint
laying on thick bright
contrasting colors sealing
each layer with varnish.
Black marking pens define the
shapes. Beads enhance the
shapes. My goal is to create
as much varying textural
design as possible.
Major influences on my art are
the clear colors and black
outlining of Tiffany’s stain
glass.
