Paintings

I picked up painting in oil and acrylic in my late thirties as part of an art class. In general, I've approached painting as a challenge to grow both my skills and emotional expression, choosing subjects I find intimidating so that I can explore fear and anxiety within the artistic process. In that spirit, I've started a series of paintings called Fear/Love that focuses on personal portraiture, conflicting emotions, and lightness/darkness within art. Aside from that project and casual studies, I also do standalone work by request or for exhibitions.
