16” X 12” Oils & Cold Wax 2019. Being an artist who uses color 99% of the time, I love how this black and white painting turned out. The challenge of not using color forced me to focus on just black and white. Thinking it would be limiting, it made me realized the possibilities are endless even without color present.

It’s good to get out of your comfort zone! I love the magical aura of this painting and how serene it is.

12” X 16” Oils & Cold Wax 2019. I really enjoy painting with dioxazine purple and cadmium green. Add grey and I just love how these colors look with each other. While intuitively creating this piece, images of links became apparent. I liken it to the saying, “We are all connected”.
