This mixed media portrait of my partner Paul was an experiment in working with reflected color. The colors are not meant to be realistic -- I wanted it to appear that the colored light in the background is reflected in his face and beard -- but it still looks very realistic to me. The original piece combined conventional and digital painting techniques with collage.

My mother was an artist and my earliest inspiration. We went to galleries and art museums throughout my childhood, and I was encouraged to create art in every medium and genre I was interested in. This Follow Your Heart belief system has led me to continue working in multiple genres throughout my life. Not only that, I know I'm a multi-faceted person. Isn't everyone? I refuse to be stuck in one media or style when I love more than one! So that's what you'll see here: fine art paintings and photography, handmade printmaking and multimedia techniques, digital / graphic art and illustration. My heart is in the fine arts. And that means a lot to me.
