I dream in color.

My small narrative paintings are mostly about my observations of daily life. I keep a sketchbook with me to quickly capture things around me that I find funny, awkward or beautiful. Sometimes friends, sometimes strangers, sometimes stuff right out of my head, my favorite paintings are often about the most mundane things. I then translate my drawings into small naive paintings in acrylic and ink on heavy watercolor paper. I use both hands to draw and paint with; drawing with my left gives me the loose feeling I’m looking for. Because color and texture are integral to my work, I create by using multiple layers of jewel tone color combined with matte medium and ink. About me: I've been painting for many years, I'm also an art teacher and run an art studio for kids. I went to art school quite a few years ago and received my degree is in art history with a minor in painting. I live happily in Northern California with a husband, kids, dog, cats and chickens. Anyways, thanks for taking a look, I hope you like them!
