Welcome! I've been painting professionally for the past 30 years ! The subject matter varies, I use different mediums to create my art. I'm grateful to be earning a living thru my art, and thrilled to know others enjoy it!
MY PAINTINGS are created with professional grade artist acrylics on gallery wrapped stretched canvas around wood frame, staples are hidden on back eliminating need for framing.
MY MIXED MEDIA paintings embellished with vintage treasures such as buttons, jewelry, crystals & found objects adding dimension and texture, making each painting a one-of-a-kind unique work of art.
MY FUNCTIONAL Upcycled Salvaged SHABBY ART pieces created with vintage architectural artifacts,found objects, buttons and crystals.
Over the years many of my mural clients have commissioned art on canvas which has inspired me to paint more on my own and offer them here on Etsy!
I AM INSPIRED MOSTLY BY WILDLIFE AND NATURE, BUT I PAINT WHAT MOVES ME...OFTEN ONCE I BEGIN A PIECE IT TAKES ON A LIFE OF ITS OWN...I GO WITH THE FLOW WITH EXCITEMENT NOT KNOWING WHAT WILL DEVELOP!
My art has been published in the following:
* World Wrestling Entertainment magazine 2007.
* Designing Home Lifestyle Magazine Pittsburgh 2007
* Decorating & Window Covering Magazine 1997
* Pittsburgh Magazine 2002 and numerous local newspaper publications in the past 28 years.
Thank you stopping by...I appreciate your visit. please feel free to contact me with questions!
May you smile as you view my art!
