When I met Talia, I was struck by her creative way of combining an old fashioned charm with hip sensibilities: red streaked hair and a nose ring with a lace shirt and contemplative expression. I painted her in a combination of styles, using mostly conventional but also digital techniques, to further emphasize these juxtapositions. I was inspired by Renaissance painters like Rembrandt in terms of lighting, Impressionist paintings like Mary Cassatt in terms of painting her shirt. And I threw in a potato print background to add a little urban flair.

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.
