charcoal drawings, graphite drawings, pencil portraits, caran d' ache aquarelle and watercolor paintings
I have made drawings since I could hold a pencil, and enjoy working with charcoal pencil most of all. Graphite pencil and caran d' ache aquarelle (watercolor crayons) are also favorites. I am best known for my strong black & white charcoal pencil drawings and pencil portraits, but also enjoy experimenting with media and a wide variety of subject matter.
In a sunny, subtropical climate where so many artists create drawings and watercolor paintings in pastel colors of clear blue-skied beach scenes, aquatic life (dolphins, sea turtles), boats of all kinds, pelicans and pink flamingos, and bright sunlight washing across porches, palm trees, and the Atlantic Ocean, my artwork is very unique.
Having arrived on this hot, sunny coastal barrier island from the Great Lake State, Michigan which boasts more than 11,000 inland lakes and brilliant, sparkling icy, snowy winters with lovely grey skies, the intensity of the light increased while my black and white drawings remained constant. Reflected in the high chiaroscuro contrasts, my senses are heightened by the play of light and shadow across the lush landscape here in Eastern Coastal Central Florida as they always were in Michigan. I see with clarity while I feel deeply the contrast of light and shadow, whether I am working realistically or abstractly, and I love the effect that working with charcoal brings to my subjects.
You will find that my expressions of people, Biblical subjects, flowers, aquatic life and objects rendered in charcoal pencil are a captivating blend of vision and technique so completely unique that you will yearn to bring them into your home or office to enjoy forever.
FINE ART for SMALL SPACES
With the current trend in downsizing comes a decrease in available wall space. As a result, the art chosen for these walls must be size-appropriate while making a statement. In order to accommodate this trend, the majority of my artwork is 8.5.x.11,11 x 8.5, 11 x 14 and 14 x 11 inches. The artwork can be framed in larger frames and/or grouped together for larger spaces.
AFFORDABLE ART
I strongly believe that everyone should be able to enjoy fine art in their homes and offices and as a result, I am offering my original drawings and paintings as affordable digital prints.
