As an abstract artist I use my moods and emotions within me to express myself like a musician playing the bass in a jazz band or the rhythm of the saxophone, just moving across the page.
By abstractly painting the background and structural design I use my techniques to express a mood of calmness and security. By rolling on layers of translucent earthly toned glazes, I incorporate random and deliberate marks by scratching in lines and shapes to emphasize the movement of the eternal and unending, full circle.
I use Yupo paper, which is a one hundred percent pulp free, recyclable paper with a slick shinny surface. After mixing the desired watercolor on my palette, I compose the majority of my paintings using a sponge roller. Controlling the paint by letting each layer of color dry between applications, I then carefully lift off areas of paint with a damp tissue or burnishing the paint off with a sponge roller. This gives the aged look to the overall structure of the piece, illuminating the depth of the paint and exposing the rich under lying tones below the surface which reveals a fabric like appearance.

Circle of Life
In this body of work I have chosen my own personal life as
my subject in circular meaning
The love, hope and encouragement I have received from my family and friends to press on to be who I am today. A Wife, a Mom, a Daughter, a Sister, and a Friend.
My circle of loved ones have taught me:

What ever you give out, you receive in greater measure.
Feed your faith, and your fears will starve to death.
Goals are dreams with deadlines.
Use your voice.
