Sunset at Holden Beach, NC is especially dramatic after a storm. I love the contrasts and colors that change constantly as the sun sets.

Artist's Statement:

I live in Richmond, VA. My work has evolved through the years, from realistic still life and florals to my current abstracted landscapes.  I discovered Cold Wax Medium a few years ago, and it has transformed my painting practice.  These landscapes show my interest in color and mark making.  I use imagery from photos I have taken of places I love and have visited in my past, but I also draw on imagination to create works that reflect the beauty I see in our natural world.  I layer the paint and wax and then scratch through the surface to show what lies beneath, just as nature gives us glimpses of a hidden world beneath earth's surface.
