Gallery

WELCOME TO MY GALLERIES. AS YOU CAN SEE I LOVE PAINTING A VARIETY OF SUBJECTS IN A VARIETY OF MEDIUMS and STYLES. I HOPE YOU WILL FEEL THE JOY THAT HAS DRAWN ME TO EACH SUBJECT! I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO SHARE ANY FEEDBACK WITH ME. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HAVE A LOOK!

Blind Contours Series

I've drawn these images with charcoal while looking at my reference, not at the canvas. I've loosely added colour to the drawing with oil paint.

PORTRAITS

I've always enjoyed drawing and painting faces and figures. I've explored various approaches to my paintings such as elongating the faces, layering them into the background and even combining the mixed media abstracts with the faces.

Landscapes

I am drawn to colour, light and movement. I love how the sun glances off a building or how you watch the wind moving the clouds. I love painting flowers because they have so many colours and folds in their petals.

FIGURES SERIES

I've always enjoyed drawing and painting faces and figures. I've explored various approaches to my paintings such as elongating the figures, layering them into the background and even combining the figures with mixed media abstracts

MIXED MEDIA

AS AN ARTIST I STRIVE TO CONTINUE TO GROW AND EXPAND MY KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE. WITH THIS NEW APPROACH OF ABSTRACTION, COLLAGE, ACRYLIC, OIL AND MORE I AM FINDING NEW WAYS OF EXPRESSION.

Critters

These characters have personality. This series was created using that personality and playing with colour.

Black & White

I spent 6 months in the world of black and white. Exploring charcoal as well as experimenting with painting with my non dominant hand. I was pleasantly surprised and happy with the results.

Metal Prints

I have reproduced a selection of my work on Alu-dibond. (2 sheets of aluminum with a polystyrene core) with UV stable ink. I am thrilled with the play of light on the aluminum as well as the durability and lightweight quality of the pieces. The flexibility of placing these pieces indoor and out is a great bonus.

TONDOS

TONDO'S - ROUND PAINTINGS IS SOMETHING NEW FOR ME. I BELONG TO A GROUP OF WOMEN PAINTERS CALLED "GATHER ROUND" THAT HAVE COME TOGETHER TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER AND TO PUT ON AN ANNUAL SHOW AND SALE. ALL OF US BELONG TO THE MENTOR GROUP "MASTRIUS" AND THAT IS HOW WE HAVE COME TO KNOW EACH OTHER.
