Faces are incredibly captivating. Subtle expressions can tell an intriguing, unforgettable story. I am drawn to unique faces with unusual features, or people with unconventional beauty.
I became interested in painting at age 13, when a local artist introduced me to Art Nouveau, Impressionism, Expressionism, and Cubism. These styles were to ultimately become very influential on my paintings.
I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Studio Art with a concentration in painting and printmaking and later earned an additional degree in graphic design. My paintings often feature distorted, circus-like characters that possess the unconventional beauty that I find so intriguing.
I also have a fascination for the art of the Day of the Dead and Mexican folk art, which is exhibited through my paintings and illustrations for my greeting cards.
Please feel free to browse my work. My greeting cards are available at http://www.etsy.com/shop/greenheartgallery. If interested in purchasing paintings or cards, please get in touch!
