Nu Woman Expressionism

Artist, (Jan. 2002 ~ Present)

Artist and Partner of C & W Collectibles and Fine Art, LLC.

Full time artist. Started from self-taught and developed my artistic style, entitled Nu Woman Expressionism, and have created over 100 oils paintings ranging from 12”x14” up to 48”x 72”. While I have explored various subjects in my paintings, I am focusing on painting my perceptions of women that are part of my life’s experiences. I traveled to Spain, Japan, and Mexico in year 2002 and 2003, have taken several Flamenco Dance classes. This has inspired me to add a Spanish flair to my paintings. In late 2003, painted several Antonio Gaudi inspired scenes, and then experimented with various abstract styles and mood/emotion inspired paintings. Also designing artisan jewelry, hand made ceramics, and mosaic tiles, expanding my variety of art works.
