Ethereal women are captured in ephemeral moments that are meant to evoke a sense of wonder in the viewer. Her painting technique is inspired by classical methods of oil painting involving a tonal underpainting, and color built up over multiple layers of glazing and dry brushing. Her drawings are mixed media pieces often utilizing charcoal and pan pastels along with many other experimental mediums.Original works are for sale on her website.
