Painting.

Painting is my second language. I made my first oil painting nearly 30 years ago, and while it wasn’t very good, I immediately fell in love with painting. The process, materials, and even the scents, toxic as they may have been. Over the past 20 years, I have made fewer paintings, out of concern for the environment. I have been researching ‘greener’ methods of oil painting, including using mediums that contain marble dust. I am still in the experimental stage in this journey.

I started working with Egg Tempera in 2020, and I love it almost as much as oil. Turning to water-based paints has also led me to Moku Hanga printmaking.
