MY FAVORITE THINGS
The images I have created for the featured artist wall are recreations of some of my favorite life experiences so far. Snorkeling in Baja with hundreds of seals in Punta Bufeo. Two weeks traversing the shell strewn beach daily saving sting rays and eels from their little holes in the sand that left them stranded as the tide went out. Fishing for bass and diving for scallops we cut away from the rocks. It was the best trip ever including the stings from the jellyfish. The coral reef paintings expresses a lifelong passion for colorful tropical fish and the many large personal tropical tans I’ve set up since 1985, the largest was a 250 gallon bow front. The seascapes are intuitive and compiled from so many I’ve seen from my travels. These in particular roar to the magical power of our moody Oregon coast.
My official art training is in graphic design which I did freelance for many years in the San Fernando Valley, CA. I have been drawing and painting since early childhood. My great-grandmother, both grandmothers and my mother were all painters so my Christmas presents were always related to art. Lots of illustrated books from artists like Picasso which I studied and absorbed into my being. I work mostly in acrylics but my love is to draw and sketch from memory. Recently I have been playing with aIcohol inks and have been very happy with the medium and the tiny little gems that have come from the intense colors. As an expressionistic/intuitive painter I rely on an inner trust for my painting process. This enables me to go with the flow and capture surprises that show up the way they want to. Most of the time my carefully laid out plans go out the window which I have learned isn’t a bad thing as the essence of the visual comes through on its own. To me it’s a universal nod that says, lets make this whole art thing fun!
