JUNKYARD ART, you never know what you might find

I use paint, metal, wood, and clay as mediums to create an image, sculpture, etc.  My JUNKYARD art space is full of character and whimsical creations.  I love color. My room when I was growing up had rainbow everything.  My parents were always making, building, painting, or sewing something.  My mom past away in high school, through all that, I became strong, determined to look at life with faith and hope and the colors she impressed upon me.  I look for a way to create things that make us feel good.  I have a tendency to scribble words on my art that describe my feelings and motivations.  Just as my art is a mix, so are my interests.  I am working on several things:

• new paintings and new JUNKOLIER's for the JUNK Gallery

• keeping up with my 2nd and 5th Graders

• writing and illustrating a children's book

• trying to move up the ladder in the film production world

I lived in Los Angeles for 6 years working in the Art Department which greatly influenced my style.  I free lanced around the country working as an On Set Dresser in television or feature films.  Recently, I worked as an On Set Scenic Painter on a FedEx NASCAR commercial at the Langley Speedway in Hampton, and was commissioned to design graphics and paint graffiti throughout Victory Lane (the finish line), their museum, including their concessions.
