Artist Statement

I am a mixed-media artist working with acrylic and oil paint, charcoal, pastels and collage. My work is typically representational and spans a wide variety of subjects, including landscapes, portraiture, and eclectic humorous subjects. A pillar of my practice is humor. I enjoy creating light-hearted works that make people smile or laugh. For example, I might paint dancing sheep or renegade bees robbing a honey pot. Through my work, whether landscape, portrait or a funny composition, I hope to create small moments of beauty and humor in the world.
