Showcasing snazzy paintings, necklaces and joytoys☺☺☺
I am an artist who specializes in colorful folk art paintings. My artistic style is outsider brut. It is primitive in style, raw emotionally, and mature in nature.
I paint animals, celebrities, made up fantasy creatures, and spirited women. Often the made up creatures are half human and half animal. The spirited women are usually fashionable, full of emotion and full of moxie.
I strive to produce an end product that has both strength and beauty. I believe the human mind is a lot like my artwork filled with hard facts but also softened with abstract thoughts and emotions.
