Eye Candy for the Soul

Hello! Thank you for your interest in Visual Lifesavers Art!



Creativity and self expression are very important to my personal happiness. Painting brings me joy, a rush of endorphins. It is a wonderful release and when a painting is going well I feel excited, happy and time flies by. 



When I start a painting I often create the background first, using colors that I enjoy or feel go well together. Then I layer the other objects on top of the background to create an interesting composition. Sometimes I plan out the painting ahead of time, such as with Lion of my Heart, so that everything can work well together.​



My artwork is inspired by everything around me. Often, the most eye catching images for me are from nature and photographs I see. I love the round, undulating lines and natural shapes of the earth, trees and human figures. I have been painting for many years, and am mostly self taught. Through practice, critiques and experimentation I have steadily increased my ability and expertise.

 

I feel very grateful that my artwork has been collected around the world going as far as China, Australia and Germany! Recently I was published in both the 2017 and 2019 We'moon desk calendar and the 2018 french desk calendar, Rev 'Elles Agenda Lunaire.
