Artist Statement:
I am a self-taught artist,
learning portraiture from my
mother at a young age. I am
still in favor of charcoal
when drawing portraits because
of the ease of application,
and the intensity of values.
Charcoal gives me depth that
pencils lack.
As I progressed in my
exploration of color, I
experimented with oils,
acrylics, and watercolor.
Although I love the fresh,
crispness of watercolor, I
have yet to master the medium.
Acrylics are wonderful for
coverage,and intense color.
They dry quickly, and when
that’s needed, I love
acrylics. But I truly love oil
paints. I love the smell, the
feel, and the beautiful look
that oil paints produce. I
love the way I can blend and
smear the paint to produce the
desired atmosphere or emotion
within the painting.
My favorite colors are
French Ultramarine Blue,
Cadmium Red and Yellow, Brown
Madder, Indian Red and Yellow,
and Burnt/Raw Sienna and
Umber. I mix 1 part to 3 parts
Stand Oil to Linseed Oil for
my painting medium.
I live in the central
valley of California, and
enjoy traveling throughout the
western states for
inspiration. I maintain my own
website as well as websites
for other...
