I am a Mixed Media Artist and Expressive Art Therapist. My work is about expressing ideas and feelings to establish a connection through colors, shapes and texture. I use acrylic paints and a variety of mediums to achieve the effect of layers, vibrant color and energy. Usually my paintings begin with an instinctive vision that opens and blossoms as the process reaches its maturity. My technique involves a mix of acrylic paints, pastels, inks and crayons, as well a variety of materials which are combined and manipulated to build textures.
