1993 – 2001

1993-2001 Look Back – While impressions from my early life would become key inspiration for my artistic career, I didn’t begin painting until 1992 after moving to Santa Fe from Houston. Influenced by Santa Fe’s creative culture, I began taking classes and experimenting with various media and painting styles until homing in on acrylic and oil. In 2003 after a hiatus, I fully committed to my third career – creating art. My passion for painting became realized when it blossomed into a full-time career. I improved my technique and found my voice – becoming a painter of colorful, energetic abstract paintings.

Here you can journey with me through the creative process that unfolded in my work from 1993 through 2001. As you view the Look Backs, you’ll note a continued progression through almost 28 years of creating.
