Art is the life of dreams.
Paintings (Oil & Acrylic)
Creating art has always been very therapeutic for me. It is a great way to express my emotions for it allows me an outlet that is ever-forgiving where I can release confusion, sadness and anger as well as joy and love. While I enjoy working with many different mediums, I would say my favorite is painting. There's just something about using my hands to create!

5/2009 16" x 20"
This is an acrylic painting inspired by the beauty of flowers and the heavens. It's hared to see in the photo, but I created some raised, textured areas with the paint and also added some beads in the floral areas. (detail of beading below)
Paradise Series
"Paradise - A perfect place for personal escape, which can only truly be perfect if created in our minds." mlw
These paintings are done on pressed canvas with acrylics. I have also added beads to accent certain areas. I like the way the beads give texture and interest.
