IMPERIAL PURPLE

This gorgeous semi-transparent pigment is named aptly. Imperial Purple is absolutely regal and delivers a full range of values from deepest purple to ultramarine. It is low staining and with a ratio of more water to pigment, it becomes a lovely lavender and quite delicate. I immediately thought of my garden favorites, hydrangeas, lilacs and irises as perfect candidates for a touch of royalty like this.

SOUL

“I am a contemplative artist who has trouble accessing verbal skills. Finding the right words to talk about the amazing things I observe around me can be frustrating. It is much more natural for me to pick up a paintbrush, some embroidery floss or my camera when I wish to share some new discovery. The artwork I create is meant to be enjoyed on whatever level the viewer experiences it and not layered with complex meaning. Feathers, fur, flowers and the incredible variation I find in wildlife not only inspire me, but compel me to share every nuance with you.
