As a lifelong artist, I have continued to hone my skill in various art media: acrylic, watercolor, pen & ink, mixed media, and occasionally digital as well. In some form or fashion, I paint or draw on a daily basis. Even in the more loose art of sketching I find a way to express my thoughts or how my heart is feeling at the moment. If it is to capture what my eyes have gravitated to, I still find the process liberating and it nourishes my creative side. I firmly believe that there are no mistakes in art, for whatever the artist brings forth is a way to articulate what he or she may have a hard time saying with mere words.

As a visual artist, I like to produce kaleidoscopic paintings and illustrations. I don’t really lean towards one favorite color or hue, but rather I delight in the broad spectrum in which God has painted this planet we live on and the mysteries that He has hung across the universe. Often, I like how brushes can put details onto various painting surfaces. It lends itself well to a more traditional look and feel. However, I thoroughly enjoy using palette knives to produce art of a more rough, and sometimes contemporary, nature. No matter the subject matter, I delight in painting and illustrating. I’m not one to shy away from new styles or even trying my hand at old styles from art movements of long ago. I love impressionism, post impressionism, fauvism, expressionism, and the list goes on and on. As G.K. Chesterton said, “Art is born when the temporary touches the eternal.”
