Retro Abstracts, patterns, and Fab Femmes from Austin, Texas.

I find inspiration in many things: The elegance and sometimes silliness of vintage advertising, glamorous and edgy fashion illustration, the depth of emotion that portrait photography of people and animals provides, unique and colorful interior spaces, the intrigue of iconic figures, and the exotic colors found in nature.

I work in a combination of watercolor, colored pencil, charcoal, acrylic, pastel, and conte' crayon; sometimes using digital enhancement to achieve my desired effect. No matter where my creativity takes me, I always come back to portraiture.
