“I am a self taught artist, working primarily in acrylics and soft pastels. I paint on canvas but am particularly fond of a harder surface, like hardboard or wood. I’m especially drawn to working on reclaimed materials. I love how the wear and texture add another attractive element to the piece.
I work equally on portraits, landscapes and still life, all done in my own signature fun style.
Abraham Lincoln has long been a favorite subject of mine. The majority of the time my approach concerning him has been lighthearted. I like to portray Lincoln in situations where he has found a bit of joy in his life.
Images that make you smile are my exercise in the creative process, may it be my favorite president, a much loved animal or a quirky stylized scene. Today we need these positive reminders more than ever.”
Having grown up on a farm right smack dab in the middle of ole Abraham Lincoln’s stomping grounds I have never lacked for ideas or inspiration. I have always been creative, selling my wares as I go. I have worked with wood and restored antiques which in turn began a love of reclaimed & repurposed items. I am fascinated with the stories hidden within a piece.
