About me
I love painting with vibrant colors. There’s a rush of adrenaline that rises up in me when I see certain paintings. What is it exactly, that gets my heart pumping when I see these pieces? To me, it’s all about the lighting, the color, the expressive brushstrokes, and being able to capture the essence of life.
I first knew I wanted to be an artist when I was in 8th grade. I was blessed to have a compassionate art teacher that invested in me and greatly encouraged me along the way.
Growing up in a military family, I traveled around the world and was exposed to many cultures. My parents took me to many museums (my favorite, being the Impressionists). As I look back, I am so thankful for all of those experiences as they greatly influenced my direction as an artist.
I feel so fulfilled when I am able to share my passion for painting with exciting colors. It serves as my biggest inspiration for Unlocking Color Secrets. I would love to be able to share my passion with you.
My approach
I enjoy painting a variety of subjects, but most importantly expressing them with exciting colors, lighting, and emotion.
My process
I paint using the ‘Alla Prima’ method of painting (working wet into wet, usually in one sitting).
Credits
I am eternally thankful to God for allowing me to do what I am most compelled to do: express myself through my painting.
