Paintings
Ink, colored pencil, soft but mostly oil pastel, I stitch together scenes from any time or location. Work with me to create the ultimate vantage point of your third place, compose a still life of your favorite books and foods, travel the world from Buenos Aires to Tokyo or you may find you just need a certain color to compliment the wall and couch.
I do not know if “painting” is the correct term, but there is a great deal of mixing and blending with an overall effect which I believe looks more like a painting than a drawing. The effect is created by smudging oil pastels together and overlapping them with soft pastel. I use colored pencil and pen to highlight details and lines, though I am conservative in using them. The paintings are created on mixed media paper.
Custom paintings can be made 18” by 24” to 3’ by 4’

Tango in Buenos Aires takes place at a subway stop on the way to the Plaza de Mayo (city center). Buenos Aires is known as the “Paris of South America” and derives the name from the European architecture and cobblestone streets. Line A is the oldest subway line in South America. Though it may seem strange that all the restaurants and cafes are empty in the evening, residents of Buenos Aires eat later around 10:00 pm.
