Reviews

“A delicate texture and small distinct flecks of color enrich the surface of these gentle airy studies of landscape and interior space.  Reminiscent of the works of Monet and J.M.W. Turner they are painted in encaustic, melted wax combined with pigment and manipulated while hot.”  W.C. Burnett, The Atlanta Journal
