An artist who sets no media boundaries. Her intuitive and experimental process lends itself to creating abstract work, building relationships between bright color, unusual shapes and intense pattern.

Finished this painting in approximately 10.5 hours. The shape is inspired by a necklace I have, the colors and orange pattern inspired by a piece of my clothing.

Community Coloring Book Workshop
Made at Splash Studio
Sometimes while working at Splash Studio I get to be on Mini Painting, which means when it's not too busy and there aren't any other tasks to do, you get to paint! Here are two pieces I've made while there. The first started with using the shape of an earring I was wearing that day. For the second painting, I kept part of the background of an old canvas and painted the white over it. The purple lines are inspired by the street lamps in downtown Milwaukee on Broadway St.
Both pieces are for sale so come check them out if you're interested!
