I started painting mini adventures inspired by groups of the critters I’ve met at one time or another here in Asheville, NC. My imagination runs wild as I paint. My art is done free-handedly with no sketches and no detailed plan. I just go with the flow! I follow my intuition as I’m painting. I don’t know how they will turn out until about midway through, so it’s just as exciting for me when I see all of my wild imagination come together in a finished piece! I love seeing my partner’s reactions during the entire process. He’s just as surprised as I am when he sees intuitive flow in the beginning, shaping itself into a lovely little story about the wonderful nature we experience in our yard and on our hikes! The finished product is a textured, touchable piece created from my dabbing technique with a paintbrush. The texture gives the painting so much more personality, and perhaps petting your furry animal will bring you closer to the meaning you feel when you see it. More on my technique and that stronger connection to nature later… I can’t believe how far I’ve come and how many folks have reciprocated the joy and inspiration I hope to share through Little Ray of Light Design, and it all started from listening to the desires of my heart and soul. Your support brings me closer to my dream of being a full-time artist.
