"I approach my easel with my various interests in mind, striving to slow down, to spend time with them, and to record and explore them in a visual context. After studying art in college, I spent some time in my studio. Later on, I taught high school art, digital art, and photography courses. I moved on from teaching in 2017 and now spend more time at home, with friends, and especially at my easel. Pastels are my favorite medium to use. Unlike mediums that use a brush or other tool for application, I can hold them directly in my hand. Pastels are pure pigment with a little binder to hold the powdery pigment together in a stick form. They are the same pigments used in oil paints. Oils have fast become another favorite of mine. I love mixing cold wax medium into the paint and watching as I spread the colors along my birch wood canvas."
