We are all creative beings, artists. I would say I am a 'colorist', focusing, above all else, on COLOR! Whether through my manipulated photography/abstracts or my paintings, I truly enjoy experimenting with color. Along with color, my mixed media paintings focus on the strength, beauty, and mystery of the female. My black and white photography is all about texture and shadow. This is where I break away from all the color, for a change of pace. Thanks so much for stopping by my galleries. Please check in often as new work is being uploaded frequently!
