Creative Catalyst Studio
Art is an integral
part of my life. When I paint, I strive to connect with my
subject visually & energetically to capture the spirit of the
person or place. Primarily I work with oils, but I also enjoy
pastels. My three areas of focus are landscapes, pet
portraits & collage work.
Landscape
painting:
One
reason I love “plein air” (on location) painting is that I am able to
connect with the landscape on a visceral level as I work to portray the
light & spirit of each location. When I work from photo
reference, I choose to use my own photography so that I can remember
being there as I paint. It is my hope that you, the viewer can
also share the experience through my work.
Pet
Portraits:
I
love painting animals & pets because they look at you without
pretence. No worries about their hair or physical beauty.
Animals don’t worry, people do! Usually I work from photo
reference supplied by the owners, with a studio visit by the subject
mid way so that I may adjust the color and get to know them better.
Collage:
Sometimes
I choose to “play” with collage and create objects or decorate
furniture. It’s all about allowing my intuition to interact with
materials to create something of beauty. At times I take recycled
frames and create unique collaged frames for my more abstract
paintings. This is when my “magpie spirit” takes over & the
glitter comes out!
