Modern masters such as Picasso, Pollock, and Rothko, and many others, as well as current modern artists I follow on social media, have been greatly influential. I find inspiration everywhere in art, design, and architecture, and everyday life. What is your greatest source of inspiration? I just gave them another more artistic life. paints I had leftover from numerous design projects. The inks, pastel, and charcoal details enhance color or define edges, making certain elements pop on the canvas. I prep the canvas with a thick acrylic medium to add body to the canvas, and provide initial texture. It makes the work more interesting and alive with color and texture.
I try to be creative in the materials I use, so it’s not just one medium. What drew you to using these particular mediums? To create your pieces you used a combination of recycled house paint, ink, and pastel, and/or charcoal on canvas. My favorite color of the moment is a spicy orange. In the Urban Organics pieces, I find I am drawn to the warmer palettes, and the Palm Springs post-modern/mid-century influences that give it its hip, urban feel. In my abstract botanical work, blues, Aquas, teals, and greens often dominate, because it’s organic and inspired by living by the coast. The color palettes are continually evolving. What is the color palette that you feel drawn to the most? Hollywood Hills and the Blvd Diptych You use colorful palettes and implement line, shape, and form into your work. LA’s hip, urban, yet fresh and casual lifestyle would have a profound effect on my more modern art later in my career. I draw inspiration from the colors of the ocean and landscape and interpret them in modern abstract form on the canvas.

Living at the beach had a great influence on both my abstract landscape series and botanical works. I continued to work in residential interior design for another 10 years while continuing to reach and evolve as an artist and building a following. An evening oil painting class at a local community college helped get me back to my artistic roots. I began painting again in my early 30s after the birth of my daughter. I moved to the LA area at age 21 and was working in the commercial interior design industry for 10 years. How did moving to LA influence your artistic style? I minored in Fine Art, taking everything from painting to sculpture, and that art background enhanced my abilities as a designer.
My obsession with design and interiors began. Instead, I took an Interior Design class Freshman year in college and was hooked. I took Fashion Design and Merchandising classes in high school but realized this was not the career path for me. As a child, I would immerse myself in art drawings for hours teaching myself to draw by copying photographs and sketches from art books. My love of art started at a very young age. When did your love of art & design begin?
