ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2018 Submission.

I always enjoyed drawing but did not do much with color until moving to Las Vegas several years ago.  Suddenly I was surrounded by colorful sunsets, mountains and canyons.   As I explored nature in all its colors so different from where I grew up, then returned to a home with white walls, I found myself completely inspired.  I began filling my own walls with what I find beautiful.  Once I started, the ideas were flowing, and I found myself painting all sorts of things!  I enjoy working in many styles. Modern impressionism is what I enjoy the most, and abstract art is also a great outlet for my energy.  I feel most proud of my realistic works, however, since they require hard work.  I make use of an exaggerated perspective in many of my paintings, especially on cars and landscape scenes. I work with high quality materials and enjoy using bright colors. I am always expanding my portfolio and trying new things. Acrylics are my favorite medium for now.  I hope to always keep learning!
