Contemporary Western Painting / Prints / Glass
She starts each piece on location, looking directly into the sun. A black and white award-winning photographer, her photographic images made on location serve as a starting point for her mixed media paintings. With details obscured, she looks for strong, iconic silhouettes, which have become core to her signature style. In her studio, the artist often weaves “Old West” elements (vintage wall paper designs, typography and other symbols) with modern day imagery. The result? A feeling the past is always present.
