My medium of choice are the lush, vivid colors that Oil Pastels provide. Additionally, I use gold-tone metallic leaf to enhance my expressive landscape images. No photographs are ever used as reference, only my mind's eye. Working on a black surface, wood panel or pastel paper, appears to sharpen my images and provide a stylized stained-glass effect. My inspiration is the beautiful Pacific NW and British Columbia’s south coast. Stylistically, think, Van Gogh meets Kandinsky and Gustav Klimt house for dinner.
