| Hello, welcome to my page! Here you can find my patterns and my credentials as an artist, but let me tell you a little about myself and the goals I persue with my patterns.
I am self-taught and consider myself more painter than artist. My favorite subjects are flowers and landscapes. Flowers are wonderful because there is an infinite palette of colors that can be used. Landscapes are fun because you can be the architect of your imagination. It\'s my belief that painting is for everyone who has the desire, but it seems the world is spinning faster these days, not allowing many the time for classes or practice. Through the years of trial and error, I have discovered non-traditional techniques for achieving traditional results, making painting quicker and easier along the way. It is my hope that as I share these methods in my patterns that it will encourage and simplify painting for the beginner or infrequent painter as well as demonstrate shortcuts for the intermediate. It is my goal to present painting with instantaneous results and without complicated strokework making it successful, but most of all making painting lots of fun.
