Paintings made with soft and hard pastel, pastel pencils and or oil pastel or charcoal . Pastel was the first medium I used after the purple crayon....

oil paintings about people and their stories

Paintings of cityscapes, landscapes and seascapes painted in plein air or studio

Lately I have started exploring mixed media. Subconciously since my childhood, I have been trying to work through the complicated relationship I had with my mother, and have only recently realized this. It is exciting and unknown as I create my art as a form of expression to come to terms with that aspect of my life.   Through mixing media I am exploring those uncomfortable facets from the past and it is healing. 

Paintings done all at once in one session

These are paintings that I arranged from live items to paint in the studio alla prima

These are oldies but goodies that are selling at special prices from my studio
