Artist:
I have loved the arts since a child, beginning to paint with oil paints at ten. I attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, completing my undergraduate degree at Northern Illinois University. I received an M.A. from NIU, with a degree in Studio Arts, painting.
I have taught college full-time and as an adjunct. I have taught figure, perspective and life drawing, painting, book, editorial and sequential illustration, color theory, and the principles of design. Additionally, I teach Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. I work with freshmen through senior levels. I enjoy being able to mentor and educate people about the arts.
For several years I have been interested in integrating organic shapes with man-made structures. I break down the boundaries between these elements, creating ambiguity. I love to work with bold colors while creating movement through careful color placement.
Currently, I am exploring urban display windows merging the window content with the reflections of the city. Much of the current work is more image-oriented than my prior work, yet there remains a strong sense of bold color and flattened forms.
I do all of my creative work digitally. I take digital photos of man-made structures and interesting organic forms. Using Photoshop I combine the photos, then manipulate, merge, add to, and eliminate areas, until I come to the final image. Then I use this completed digital image as a visual reference for paintings.
