Why Acrylics?

Many people ask me, "Why do you work with acrylics instead of oil paints?"

The answer is, I used to love working with oils until I developed a severe allergy to the paints. 

Back in the day acrylics weren't as easily accessible so I relied heavily on mixing colors and

layering paint to create the similar feel of an oil painting. My style has since developed but I still

rely on the blending and additive property of acrylics for the majority of my work. 

I have a lot of fun giving lessons to people using acrylics so that they can build their skills and

be free, which is the best part of painting!
