I work in acrylic and pastel utilizing a color ground as an under-painting then purposely juxtaposing colors letting the color beneath come through to create brilliance and
luminosity. My everyday passions fuel my paintings, some of these things are; my huge flower garden, an addiction to pattern, my lovely dogs and cats, the bird feeder, a weakness for saturated colors, and an awe of landscapes, weather and skies, just to name a few. I call my choice of subject matter
"domestic surrealism", because it is a tribute to the beauty in my everyday world, but is exaggerated, tilted into the viewer, with portals and windows inviting the viewer to go beyond the ordinary
