Simple Colorful Inspiring

Art-joy

Although many use the term “artwork,” I find creating art quite the opposite of work. Making art brings me joy!

I love to compose simple, beautiful illustrations. I like to show the characters in vibrant colors with details that often teeter on the quirky side. For the backgrounds, I prefer to use softer tones and subtle settings.

Paint is my favorite art medium. I use tempera paint and watercolors. Most of all, I enjoy blending colors, transitioning one into another to show a beautiful spectrum.

Writing

Although I am often described as soft-spoken, when given pen and paper I find my voice. The words that I want to share with others usually take a lyrical form. I enjoy writing phrases that have rhythm and repetitiveness. Also, I like providing detailed descriptions that add depth to the illustrations.

I strive to create inspiring characters who show kindness as well as learn lessons. I like to incorporate a small dose of humor too; something that brings out a grin or giggle.
