Artwork

I enjoy experimenting and learning techniques using different mediums, acrylic, watercolor, oil, pencil, charcoal, ink, and collage, When I’m out and about, I like to carry a sketchbook to nature journal or capture the scene in front of me and sketch note. I can show you or your group how to nature journal or journal for fun and experimentation.
