8 X 10 Oil on canvas (framed)
This began as many of my paintings do... as an exercise in a workshop with one of my favorite artists and mentor, Frankie Johnson. She pushed me to work in this very loose and textured background. I felt so free approaching my painting in this way that I have continued to work in te this textured impressionistic fashion since (or at least some elemenent of my pieces incorporate this style).
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.
