What is plein air painting?

Being outside in nature, this style of painting challenges me to paint quickly, adapting to light and elements.

"During the pandemic,I started to paint a series called Rainbow Animals, as I wanted to give people a reason to smile & laugh. These pieces continue to delight my fans. I have been commissioned by many people to paint beloved pets in this fun style of painting.

I also learned to love the style of palette knife painting. The loose, bold strokes pair well with plein air painting. I enjoy summers of weekly plein air painting with the local Lumsden Arts Council

I love it when my art inspires others by sparking a memory for them, making them feel transported to another time or place."
