Under the Sea





This is an 11" X 14" canvas collage painting. A mixed media piece using collage papers, oil pastels, metallic, & acrylic paints. A coating of beeswax was used to create a textured dreamy effect & a unique protective finish.

SOAR




This angel fairy flutters high in the sky holding up her flapping flag against the wind. It signifies reaching high for your dreams and letting your imagination SOAR!

Creative Flow



All of my painted creations start out in similar stages. I first begin with a sketch or layout. Then I paint using a variety of different mediums. I love to experiment at this point. Titles & themes usually come to mind now if not at the beginning. Depending on added collage work, textures or beeswax, the final process of embellishing is where I have the most fun. Sometimes I end up with something so different from what I first imagined. It often works out for the best and helps with my creative flow. I never know exactly what I'll have til the very end.
