Barbie’s Pear

Oil Painting

Artist Statement
I enjoy painting subject matter that connects me with “simpler” – a time when life seemed less complicated. My work is influenced by artists like Edward Hopper, John Register and Wayne Thiebuad. I render my subject matter realistically and rely on composition and color to draw the viewer in. My hope is that my art evokes a sense of nostalgia, whimsy and sometimes, melancholy.
I was inspired to take up oil painting in 2011 after meeting artist Michael Hurd in Ruidoso, NM. Although I had become accomplished using graphite and colored pencil, oil paint had always “intimidated” me. With excellent direction and guidance by the artist and instructor Bonny Leibowitz, I found my passion for oil.
The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries. Artists can be visually expressive but may verbally misrepresent their true intentions or ideas. Please note that we support expression, whether it is controversial or not, but our intention is never to offend.
