I've been painting intermittently for about 20 years. Art and nature have always been extremely important in my life. Previously, I mostly used acrylic on canvas, but have recently started experimenting with watercolors and other mediums. I love the feeling of starting a painting with an idea in mind and watching its evolution. I often surprise myself with the results. I am open to all forms of art and creativity, and I enjoy learning new skills and techniques.

Pisces and Cancer
Last year, my friend Colleen was in a horrible car accident and went through several surgeries and a lot of very expensive hospitalization. A group of Burners and friends got together to have a party and auction off whatever we could offer to help raise some cash for her. I made three paintings for the auction, incorporating images from a book of X-rays I have. I was inspired by all of the X-Rays she was getting and decided to incorporate that into some art.
I used an X-acto knife to cut out the X-ray images I wanted to use, and I placed them down on a canvas and added paint, and used Mod Podge to glue the pictures down. Then I added the design that was inspired by Aboriginal Art. This is the only piece out of 3 that I have photos of because the other 2 paintings sold before I could photograph them.
