Oil and Cold Wax paintings
About My Work
The abstract nature of my work reflects my observations of the world through the lens of color, form, texture and line. The many layers in each painting evolve until the work elicits in me the emotion or response I hope to bring out in the viewer. The medium of oil and cold wax allows for the use of wide varieties of mark making, textural strokes, color mixing and a luminosity that comes from the layering of paint, powders, collage, and other reductive and additive techniques. I work to draw the viewer in to the complexity the medium provides, while still experiencing the joy of color and form. After working in a variety of other mediums, I have found my artistic home in the expressiveness of oil and cold wax painting.
Take a Class
I love sharing my knowledge and excitement about painting in oil and cold wax teaching all levels about the best tools, application techniques, and approaches. Classes are available this winter season at Glen Echo. I also teach small groups of 2-3 in my home studio. Contact me for more information!
