The artist attended college in Pasadena at the Art Center College of Design.
This artist is known for her thickly painted canvases that are alive with color and fun shapes. In the drawing of her petals I am reminded of calligraphic strokes. If I had to have one word to describe her work it would be festive. The drawing technique is representational and filled with expression. The flower doesn’t necessarily have to look like exactly like a flower to be a great painting, if it feels like a painting it can also be a strong piece. Some collectors include the author of the Twilight film and book series as well as Cisco the computer company.

Today try to take an early spring flower like a daffodil and draw how it feels! Exaggerate the warm and cool colors!
Happy painting!
