What inspires you to do the kind of creative work you do?
My journey is about transformation of the spirit and creating an atmosphere for change.
I focus on color because color is energy and this inherent power can change your perceptions, thoughts and emotions. Color has both personal and universal meaning.
Shapes are incorporated into my paintings. Circles, squares, spirals, triangles and crosses all have individual and cultural meaning.
Texture adds another dimension to my work. It creates depth, character and structure as each layer builds one upon the other. Layering has many symbolic meanings from psychology to history.
Painting, for me, is an intuitive process which allows the energy of my inner spirit to flow onto the canvas for all to see and to be transformed, if only for a moment.
In the beginning
It all started when I took art history courses in college. I was just amazed at what other artists had been creating, especially painters. As I studied the history of art I began taking more and more classes such as graphic design, drawing, calligraphy and painting. My first paintings were realistic drawings and I was really into watercolor.
For the last 20 years or so I have been using acrylic and painting on canvas in an abstract style. I have participated in many successful group and solo exhibits. In addition, my work is included in corporate collections and in numerous private collections in the US and Europe. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from California State University at Humboldt. I was born in San Francisco and have lived in the Bay Area most of my life.
Currently I live and work in Sonoma, California.
What made you decide to sell and set up a shop on Groove Press?
I decided to set up a shop on Groove Press as a way to have a Clearing Out My Studio Sale. My style has evolved and now interested buyers can get great bargains on my previous work.
Since it is a new company I know they are doing a lot of marketing to introduce everyone to what they have to offer. The look of the Groove Press website is clean and contemporary and it is very easy to load images and open a shop. The Customer Service area is supportive and there is a 24-48 hour response time to
