My paintings are created on professional grade gallery canvas' with a 1 and 1/2 inch width. The edges are painted, usually a dark color. This allows for the option to display without a frame.
I use professional grade acrylic paints and a varnish for protecting the surface.
Each painting is wired and ready to hang. The artist's signature, date of completion and title is located on the back of the painting.
Inspiration for this painting
The series Outside Looking In is about embracing where I am - particularly Minneapolis, Minnesota. It takes time to adjust to a new city, but I have learned that being an "outsider looking in" has its advantages. I arrive with lots of curiosity and an eagerness to explore. I notice what might not be familiar first, and in Minnesota, that's the lakes! The water and nature that surrounds it has gotten my attention and become a highlight of living here. The paintings I've created represent fleeting moments of color and movement produced by these lakes and the elements around them.
