“Calling Me Back”, is the result of the texture inspiration from various sources of things that make me swoon. the delicate and ornate texture on a luxury dress, the old world interior charm and the fun and varied textures of pillows. The finished painting is a mixed media painting (24” x 36”) filled with layers of texture and neutral colors of cream, white, yellow golds, ambers, browns, black, and a little touch of metallic gold.

Design is a big part of who I am. I have spent my careers involved in some aspect of design. Throughout my design career years, I created inspiration boards for clients and now I also use them for my art process. They are helpful to create a commission or explore my thoughts for a new painting or series. It allows me to focus because my mind can race with different ideas and thoughts. The mood boards help create an environment and a mindset to paint.
