Artist Bio: My work is inspired by elegant and vintage design styles, places that I travel to, and vintage mural techniques. I have been showing my work at fairs for a few years and have done over 30 murals in that time. My work is often freehand florals featuring relaxing, meandering strokes, and that influences my floral styles. The use of sheer paints and layers allows the color in my work to light up and be silhouetted atop a layer of gold foil. A trip to Europe influenced my work and inspired me to create Byzantine and decorative art-influenced works, but more fun.

Materials and Techniques: After adhering gold metal leaf to stretched canvas, I paint on its surface using acrylic, glazing mediums and then seal with gloss varnish. Often I frame my work in true vintage and antique frames that resonate with my work. My subject matter includes florals, street and travel scenes, and still life scenes.
