About the Artist
 
With a Bachelor of Science in Art, – emphasis in Illustration, I am a self-taught silk painter. Discovering the medium of dyes on silk in 1999, I knew this was my medium of choice. Its vibrant colors combined with texture in the weave gives dimension and substance to my paintings.

 
Artist Statement
Rapidly spreading on silk, transparent dyes cause the artist to swiftly create the painting with spontaneous action. My painting process is similar to a jazz musician; I begin with a general vision in mind, sketches alongside, and I go with the flow, capturing the mood of the day, trusting my experience to improvise.
