I love color and use it with abandon in my mixed media paintings.
I like to depict my own life so my pieces reflect many moods, from great happiness to deep sadness, from everyday to quirky happenings. I use many media including acrylics, watercolor on silk, gold leaf and collage.
Rosebud (my dog) has been the model for many paintings. I made a book about her titled “Rosebud the Rescue Dog” In a way I think of it as a culmination. It represents a lot of work and play with a dog that is turning out to be a great companion and muse.
I make books on site of different experiences I enjoy: a trip to New Orleans for a friend’s birthday and the amazing French Quarter and Heritage Festival; the Kate Wolf Festival; Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Fest in SF. And more. Reproduction of these accordion books of events and life experiences created on the scene are available at GRO.
I live a pretty busy life.
