Oil Painting in Impasto Style with palette knives
I paint in a style known as impasto (thickly applied paint which produces a three-dimensional appearance) I enjoy painting with rich-vibrant colors, high contrast, and heavy textures. The highlights and shadows cast by the thickly applied paint gives my work the visual appeal of a sculpture. I apply my paint to the canvas with painting or palette knives verse the traditional brush. The palette knives allow me the freedom to mix the paints directly on the canvas while creating interesting peaks and valleys. These peaks and valleys pick up on the light and cast shadows on the painting that are difficult to produce with a traditional painting style.

The grace of the Louisiana live oak is simply awe inspiring. This particular Live Oak from City Park in New Orleans stands strong and proud on the park landscape. After years of growing and reaching for the sky it remains grounded and sure of where it belongs...HOME!

Commissioned impasto style painting using only palette knives.

Returning Home before leaves
There's just something about trees and South Louisiana. I'm drawn to those sprawling limbs that so gracefully make there way outward and upward. But for me it's always been about the ones that decide to return from where they came. Those have always intrigued me. As I child walking through City Park I saw those limbs and thought, a giant playset to climb. I still see natures playset but stand back in awe at its beauty. This work is now completed and shown at the top of the blog. 24"x72"

Nola Wheels Turning
I've thought about creating this painting for over a year and I've finally got it on canvas. I grew up on the Westbank of New Orleans looking across the river at all of the city's wonder. Everytime I cross the river I'm like a child again waiting to see what I'll discover. Everything about this city calls me in from the smell of the food through the streets to the historical architecture with rich colors and vibrant textures and patena. Nola Wheels Turning demonstrates the promise of what is to come when we continually move forward. This is a view of the St. Louis Cathedral through the Natchez paddle wheel on the Mississippi River. 24x36 Impasto style gallery wrapped canvas oil painting SOLD.

Bourbon Street
If you saw me at an art show towards the end of 2011 you may remember this painting as the one I was working on at the front of my booth. The first time I placed a progression image up on the site I was asked if it was for sale. This painting marks the first time I sold an unfinished painting with just the pencil sketch and the sky painted in. I’m so happy to know it is going to a great home, thank you Donn. Impasto style gallery wrapped canvas 11”x14” SOLD.
Bourbon St. - detail image of the light
I thought I would show some details of the Bourbon Street painting to give you an idea of just how much relief I achieve off of the canvas with oil paint.

Engagement photo from 1947 Recreated as an Hierloom Portrait Drawing
I was recently commissioned to work on a project that has truly inspired me. This portrait was created as a birthday gift from daughter to father.

Hope Drawing
I’ve had some request to see more pencil drawings I’ve done in the past. My drawing are done on an 11x17 paper with the drawn image inside of 8x10. Drawings are produced from a photo reference and on average take upward of 8 hours to complete. The advantages of a pencil drawing are eliminating background information from the original photo that can distract from the final piece. Other corrections can also be made like blemishes, hair out of place, wrinkles, or even those rolls that we think we don’t have. If I’m drawing a multi-person portrait I can take images of the subjects from separate photos if needed.

My Moon over Miasma
James Michalopoulos inspired me to paint again. I visited his gallery with my husband as part of my Christmas present a couple of years ago.

I had liked his work before but it wasn't until i saw the originals that I understood and was hooked.
Second Coming
After completing this painting for a church in New Orleans I took about 8 years off from painting. This painting just took it all out of me.

Thank you to all who came out to see me at the 2011 Destrehan Show. I have say that the grounds of this plantation are by far the prettiest place to spend two days. My tent was located in front of the plantation with a view of a very old oak tree dripping with windblown moss, a white picket fence, and the grass covered levee. Music was playing throughout the weekend in the distance with the smell of amazing food drifting past us in the breeze. Walking traffic was slow in the mornings allowing me to paint and draw both days. Then when the afternoons came so did the people ready to enjoy what we had to offer. Thank you all for a successful weekend.
