Edgy, Sassy, Irreverent Paintings
AT THE ARTWAUK is a series of paintings that tell a story which hopefully will tease the viewer to ask "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" I want the viewer to feel he is eavesdropping on an ArtWauk scene where everyone is having a good time. I have a lighthearted attitude ( tongue- in- cheek so to speak) with these canvases. I am shamelessly, irreverently poking gentle fun of stereotypes at the Artwauk. The scenes are pithy, sassy and playful.I love to watch people looking at art. I then can paint them with a winking disrespect. I feel that everyone should have some whimsey hanging somewhere on their walls.
These fun paintings are a bit more challenging than my serious work. In my usual painterly style, I have abandoned the cadmium and earth colors from my palette which is characteristic of my serious work. I mix and blend my tints and values prior to applying the paint to the canvas.

To follow your passion is liberating. This is the best thing about being an artist.
