Hi! I hope you enjoy my colorful, whimsical, "light hearted art." That Polly Girl has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.

Inspiration

My favorite master artists are Chagall, Picasso, Jacob Lawrence, Van Gogh, and Hilma af Klint. I love line, and aspire to find the weight and emotion of a line: from the curve of a smile to the long limbs of a graceful branching tree, or the kinetic energetic loops of handwriting we hold dear.

Techniques

I use archival mixed media applications and eco friendly supplies. I work primarily with oils and mineral pigments. I make my own canvases from upcycled sewn upholstery fabric or vintage framed birch panels.

Career Highlights

I credit much of my creative work and symbol studies from my research that gained me the 2014 Ernest Hartmann Award from the International Association for the Study of Dreams from Berkeley, CA on the Subconscious Creative Process for writers and illustrators.
