I work in a variety of mediums; mainly oils, acrylics, watercolors, gouache, oil pastels, markers, and mixed media. I’m a process artist and love exploring new mediums. My recent artworks have been about exploring subjects, art styles, and/or mediums that can be used as art lessons for a variety of age groups from adults to early childhood.
