About the Artist

My photo
I received my degree in Fine Arts at the Central Washington University and now reside in Happy Valley, OR with my husband, daughter and son. I really enjoy sketching and oil painting most, but am also practiced in water color painting, photography, sculpting and ceramics. Recently I have been painting on canvas with acrylics and am enjoying the pace at which it dries. I am looking forward to my new business adventure to help people host their own paint nights. Please email me if this is something that you would be interested in doing!

The War



The War 2003
charcoal on Paper
68" x 51" framed and matted
$3000

The war between good and evil has been around for many decades, along the same lines comes the fight about the truth to religion. This piece is about my inner turmoil about such things. The idea was taken from one of Michelangelo's earlier works, Battle of the Centaurs. The fluidity of the twisting figures keeps you interested. The eye wanders and never really stops on one figure inparticular. There is only one woman in this drawing. She is in the upper left corner, and she is screaming; maybe telling them to stop, stop fighting this war that will never end!
