Spring is Here! Time for Arts and Craft Shows!

 


Local Craft/Vintage Show being held in Muskegon, Michigan. Come check it out! 

Ill be bringing some of my mixed media, acrylic, and color pencil works as well as Jewelry and hand-painted houseware items. 

Art and beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder and the whole occupation of art in whatever form; hinges on ideas and creativeness. When I can achieve something that is creative and pleasing to the eye-either my own and hopefully someone else; especially if it that it has the power to move the viewer emotionally or conveys a message, I feel I have made a contribution as an artist.

 

I am a self-taught artist. I enjoy exploring with a variety of mediums; but especially like the use of bright colors, textures and materials that give the impression of being three-dimensional or “pop” in some way.  I work in colored pencils, permanent markers, acrylic, oil, and mixed media. I especially like using found objects, such as bits of vintage paper, jewelry, rhinestones, beads in my work. My works have been exhibited at local galleries as well as a art show entries.
