Everything I have learned about the creation and expression of art I have learned on my own. I am entirely self taught and draw the inspiration for my art from my travels, experiences and thoughts about everyday life. I paint in many different styles and techniques, using acrylic paints, as well as textures and other mediums. As an artist, I feel the need to keep exploring, searching, and learning new things so that I am not confined or restricted to one style, type or genre of art and painting.
My art can be found in collections, homes and offices throughout North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, South Africa and Australia.
:)My painting "Morning Splendor" is part of the The Fine Art Collection of The Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago.

Since 2004 I have sold more than 1000 original paintings. As my work becomes firmly established, the investment value continues to increase.
In 2007 I took on the "Brush" name Bellatrix and now offer my work under both names.
