In my artwork, I seek to celebrate life - the simple and spectacular images all around us. Art patrons admire my intense use of color and texture to enhance daily life and communicate my emotional reaction to beauty. My style is unique to me but has strong expressionistic and impressionistic components. I primarily create large low-level impasto oil paintings, but I also work in pastels. I am fascinated by the interaction of light and color in this beautiful mountain region. My art has been exhibited throughout the USA, and I have won local, national and international awards, including awards from Dorothy Gillespie, May Stevens and Daniel Greene. Website: www.wwar.com
