ABOUT THE ART The beings and landscapes in my paintings first appeared in my childhood sketchbooks and dream journals. Some beings are similar to animals we are familiar with, and some are more fantastic, like sea creatures or beings from other worlds. No matter how familiar or strange, the themes running through the series are tranquility, gentleness, tenderness, and love.
TECHNIQUE For many of my pieces, I first create a miniature model out of natural and artist’s materials (driftwood, rocks, clay and carved plaster). Next, I find the right lighting and angle of view, and photograph the piece using a digital camera. I then use the digital images as well as the original model to help me paint.
