Thank you for your visit.
Each painting is a special experience for me. Sometimes the images end up on the paper easily as I paint, and other times I work from a detailed drawing planned prior to picking up a brush. All my compositions have a connection to my first love of textile design. I have a special interest in a technique called "negative painting." You may notice that I often paint around the outside of a shape rather than paint it directly.
Because I also design and create woolen rugs and wall hangings, I often hear comments such as,"Have you ever thought of designing fabrics or wall paper?" My friends chuckle because they know one of my passions is designing rugs. It all goes to show that once a style is developed it can translate in to many mediums--- in this case from wool to paint. I am also turning my paintings in to rugs so it works both ways!
I would direct beginning painters to tips. I will be posting some of my favorite techniques for you to try.
I donate 25% of the sales of my paintings to the Michael J Fox organization to help in the search fro as cure. The web site is http://www.MichaelJFox.org
