My artistic journey of the past 15 years has taken me on a wild and wonderful ride…. Oils, Acrylic, Mixed Media…. and now Alcohol Inks. Whether working on ceramic tile, glass, Yupo or canvas, alcohol inks provide the vibrancy of colors, movement and unpredictability that make this medium so exciting.

I invite you to browse my online gallery, and if your ready to continue the fun, check out my other Udemy video courses. (coming soon)
