I make short videos of my painting process for social media. I thought I might share one or two with you. Every time I start a painting, I mix colors continuously from beginning to end. In these short "reels" I have already mixed most of the colors other than white. White is the trickiest of the colors. I never use "straight out of the tube" colors—especially white. Each painting has a unique white. Here the over-all palette is cool, so I choose warm whites to complement the cool colors. You may not know this, but my whites are made of every color in the palette, plus white.

A painting for your home

Here is At the River, 40"x 40" oil and cold wax on panel, custom framed to my client's wishes, in its new home in Minnesota. The clients and I spoke several times about what they wanted their painting to look and feel like. They sent color swatches and photos of their home and this is the painting I created for them.
Think you might be interested in something special for your home? Please let me know! Read about how commissions work, or contact me and we'll talk about it!

Working in the studio as expected.  Many of my painting begin very chaotic and you can see behind me.  I am searching for the right place to "Lift Off" so to speak.  In front of me is a very small work similar to the "water paintings".  Check out my shop for completed work. follow

1.The paintings are predominantly painted on wood.  I have them custom made here in asheville by a woodworker John Hunter.  The best quality surface made to order.  After the panels are delivered to my studio the primer is applied by hand. Once the paintings are complete  I select a personally curated frame to accompany the painting.  Either hand made by the same woodworker and installed or selected molding from a local frame shop and professionally installed. 

2. I like the immediate color of pigment sticks. Pigment sticks are the primary painting technique in this newest work. When I was a kid I loved a new big box of crayons.  Pigment sticks have a similar thrill.  

3. Oil paint is made of real material: metal, soil , powdered shell, it is real and not plastic like acrylics.  Light filters through oil and creates  depth and interest.

Reflection 2, oil and cold wax on panel, 24x24, $1450
In 2021 you helped support other artists with my successful fundraiser during the month of April.
April is the month I celebrate my birthday by offering you 10% off a select group of paintings. For 2022, in the spirit of Artists Helping Artists, I want to pay it forward again to a non-profit that is near to my heart - Aurora Studios and Gallery.
This year I will match your discount and give 10% of all sales to Aurora to help them to continue to mentor, recoup from 2020, and help provide a safe environment for making art.
I have a close connection to Aurora Studios. My mother suffered with mental illness and loved to paint. When I met Lori Greenberg, I was excited to hear of a group who focused on art and worked with artists who had many of the same challenges my mother had throughout her life. I have been able to help through teaching in the program, volunteering at some of the exhibits, and letting others know about Aurora Studio.

The studio offers weekly workshops for artists who have experienced trauma due to mental health needs, homelessness or addiction. Working with Visiting Artists from Western North Carolina, Aurora Studio provides artists with the space and art supplies to explore their personal creativity, which they could not otherwise obtain or afford.
