Impressionist and Figurative Fine Art Oil Painting
Aloha!
My artistic explorations are endless…from realistic portraiture to impressionist abstracts! I paint from my heart…every painting has a story and an inspiration.
My recent figure paintings celebrate the human experience and our connections to each other and our surroundings. I often use photographs of people for inspiration for a painting. I look for what is unique about the composition, and how I feel when I see the subject. Then I hope to express that feeling in the painting.
I have always been intrigued by the human figure whether in a life drawing or portrait class, or when studying various forms of bodywork and movement. I have learned that every part of the body expresses and holds emotion, even down to the fingertips.
Hawaii is my spirit home. I lived on Oahu in the late 1950’s as a child and returning to Hawaii when I retired was a dream come true. My love of nature was inspired by the beauty of Hawaii: turquoise oceans, crashing waves, brightly colored flowering trees, fragrant flowers, rainbows, and softly glowing sunsets.
In 2004, I began focusing on plein air paintings with soft pastels and in 2014, my first love, oil painting. I am fascinated by the challenge of expressing this precious gift of life through painting: exploring color, value, composition, light, rhythm, and mood.
