Art has been a constant for the majority of my life. I drew people and designed clothing when I was very young, which turned into a love of portraits in my teenage years. I found colored pencil and it has been my go-to medium for over 30 years. My colored pencil work tends to be a realistic style, which is easy to achieve with this medium. I like to create pieces that are beautiful and that people enjoy looking at. I usually work from a photograph but feel as though I can take liberties with colors that might not show in the original reference photo, which I have done with Blue and Watercolor Dahlia. I also tend to render items that I am drawn to. Flowers are one of my favorite subjects as well as the still life. Rendering portraits is also something I am drawn to. More recently, I have taken up pastels, which is a quick and enjoyable medium that really forces you to loosen up. This is an enormous change for me and I am really enjoying this experience. The landscape has been an absolutely enchanting experience for me and I hope that it comes through in my pieces.
