8 X 8 Mixed Media (framed) SOLD
Printing and preparing my own paper for this project took some time, but it was worth my time. I learned a few tricks and techniques from Karen Sako in a mixed media workshop. Although this is not a typical subject for me, I enjoyed this very much and added my style to the project.
There are two things that re energize me and allow my creative side to emerge: dancing and painting! I love exploring different backgrounds, textures, as well as incorporating some impressionistic elements to my paintings. Figures, especially women and dancers are my preferred subjects! I enjoy interpreting the power of movement, poses, as well as the vulnerability, elegance, sensuality, and strength in women.

8 X 10 Mixed Media
I was nervous and excited to try something other than oil and pastel painting. During a mixed media workshop with Karen Sako, I played with printing my own paper, using acrylic paints, overlapping various papers, and then adding some finishing 3-D touches for the stems on the apples. My nerves subsided and I started playing and having a lot of fun creating this piece.

Latin Dancer in Blue
12 X 16 Pastel
I used this photograph, because I feel this pose is powerful and full of grace! Yes, I keep returning to the dancers.

Elegance
14 X 18 Oil (Framed)
This was an exercise in figure drawing and creativity. I started the drawing from a live model in a workshop with Kevin Beilfuss and then decided to turn in into a painting, but I had to invent the background and that was quite a feat!
