Pastel is my favorite medium and has been since I
picked up my first pastel stick. I feel a kinship with the
world's first artists who drew on cave walls with pieces of pigment or
charcoal. I create landscapes en plein air as well as studio
work. Animals are a favorite subject, perhaps because I grew up
on a small farm and know them well. I also enjoy
figurative work because the human form is amazing and difficult to
portray successfully. I find the world to be a glorious place,
full of beautiful colors, and I bring this to life in my paintings.
I am a member of excellence in the
Southeastern Pastel Society and a juried member of the Degas Pastel
Society in New Orleans. I have exhibited nationwide including
the Pastel Society of America and the International Association of
Pastel Societies, winning numerous awards. My work hangs in private
collections throughout the country.
