I work exclusively in pastels and find them superior to oils or acrylics because of their brilliance, versatility and steadfastness.
Horses
Aristocratic, comical, elegant, shabby, graceful, blunderous—horses are contradictions on four legs. That’s what makes them a topic of endless fascination to observe and a challenge to capture in pastels. And those big expressive eyes! Windows to their souls…and yours. Images of my horses are available in both Originals and Prints.
Portraits

Flowers
I love painting flowers. They’re filled with such wonderful curves, velvety textures and best of all, a vibrant color palette. Pinks, purples and blues are such a nice change of pace from the earth tones usually found while drawing animals. Flowers are available in both Originals and Prints.
