New name...same paintings. Most of my pieces will be done in oil paints. Some of my offerings are color pencil paintings Why do I call it a painting if it is a color pencil drawing? Because, it is done in layers with the color pencil and then using mineral spirits to spread out the color with a brush or swab giving it a washed effect, more like watercolor than color pencils.

I am an artist and a writer. My first book, Carrie and Hope was published April 2011, followed by Emily's Art and Soul in June 2011. I have been creating art since I was a small child, but the writing is a more recent passion. I am glad you are taking this artist journey with me.
