I primarily work on canvas and paper. Because I have been in the business of making art for a long time, my work continues to evolve. I've added digital to my list of mediums. I resisted digital at first, but now I enjoy it. I suppose that nothing will ever replace working in more of a 'hands on medium', however, I recognize advantages of digital.
I classify my work as lyrical. I believe I coined that term, but I won't arm wrestle anyone to prove that. Much of my work is in watercolor, then mixed mediums, then acrylic. I dabble in clay, textiles, and photography.
I have published two books and I have a few private outlets for my literary talents.
I consider myself a fine artist whereby I create art with no other purpose than to create art. That is the definition of a fine artist. I have a BFA and I also hold a graduate degree in art therapy.
Art therapy is a very effective form of therapy. However, far too many make the mistake of believing that it does not require special training. It does. As with anything, beware of amateurs.
