Hello from the studio, here I am working on the first wave of 2023
Welcome to my world!
Hello Family, friends, art buddies, collectors and visitors
I hope you are looking forward to 2023. I am bursting with plans for the coming year. I hope this year turns out to be as productive as I expect. I plan on painting a lot! let's see how many Paintings I can get done this year. I have a couple of things on the back burner, more about that as the year unfolds.
This year will be all about following my muse and skill building. My waterscapes have been getting more advanced and I am hoping to get even better by studying water this year. This will be extra challenging as I always want to run off and do side projects. Hopefully, by writing this down, I will be able to stop myself from painting other subjects. Every once in a while something will slip in but That could be a commission or a PROJECT I have to finish.
I will tell you something else, I am diving more into color and imagined color. WAter is INFLUENCED by so many factors that I feel I can explore some new color combinations this year. I find painting water challenging in ways I never thought possible. Hopefully I can amuse and tempt people to join me on this journey; The Color of Water.
I find myself less and less inclined to move from my studio. I will do some plein air paintings but my heart is pulling me to investigate water, more closely So, that is what I will do. I will still venture out to sketch, paint and photograph the ocean as there is nothing like being there for color notes. I just am not feeling like lugging everything out to paint every couple of weeks. When I do go out, It will be to paint waterscapes. I will also try and post more of my journey to help and inspire others. Maybe it will help us to follow our goals.
I Do have some paintings That Will be added to the other categories, paintings that i need to finish before i can give myself over to my waterscapes completely.
I don't want to make any hard and fast rules, my TEMPERAMENT is best suited to bend instead of break. At times I have the hardest time making a decision and it usually is BECAUSE I am trying to force myself to do something. This year, I will work on specific goals and hopefully you will check back to see what I am doing. Here's to making the most of 2023!
I also am available for commissions.
why not turn a seascape photo into a painting?

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
My inspiration comes from moments that stop me in my tracks. Like seeing waves roll in or how the light hits water. That excitement is what keeps me painting.
I paint in thin layers of acrylic, making the scene glow. I use painting knives, brushes and observation. Some paintings are easier than others but I try and finish all of them.
I have shown at the Santa Paula Art Museum, The California Art Club & showed in 2022 at Olivas Adobe and Anacapa Brewing Co. I am a member of Plein Air Ventura County too.
Where will I be showing next? I will let you know as soon as possible! It’s exciting seeing opportunities open up. More on that as I commit to shows.
