Oil, Acrylics and Mirror…oh MY! These are the three mediums that I use most in my paintings. Although fairly common in the art world, I strive to make oil and acrylic paints stand out in a remarkable fashion. Using mirror pieces is a fairly new medium to the art world but, it commands the attention of everyone as they enter the room.
I started painting because I wanted to fill my walls in my new condo with life for a low cost. In the past, I lived in a condo in Slidell, Louisiana and became tired of large, white walls. So, after purchasing a few art supplies I started painting and I haven’t stopped since. Months later, my condo looked like a museum with a painting on every inch of my walls from ceiling to floor.
I am a very observant person who is always thinking about things. I am a certified busy body. I love the richness of color and the infusion of different textures in life so, I try to bring that sort of richness and uniqueness to each painting. Many of my personal experiences from the New Orleans area has inspired so much of my paintings.
I believe that there is no such thing as bad art. There is good art and better art but, no art is bad. That is the beauty and freedom of art; you can create anything that you dream!
