Faith and
family, ancestry and environment are all contributing factors that have
brought me to where I am with painting and design. Russian and Native
American heritage inspire my love of color and the surroundings of the
countryside where I live provide endless creative possibilities. God and
family bless me with the gift to appreciate the beauty in all things from
the smallest seed to the tallest tree. To be able to take a brush and
create from a style that’s been a work in progress for years has truly
been a joy, and sharing what I’ve discovered with others makes it even
more so.
Painting hasn’t
been a natural process for me but rather a worthwhile labor of love for
what it has brought to my life. Therefore, I feel anyone with a sincere
desire can paint. Success for me is measured through personal growth,
which has been and remains a continual process. The greatest joys are
found in endless discoveries to take what the eye can see and capture that
essence in paint using a style as individual as a fingerprint.
F.M. Brush Co. can
be credited for being the first to create and bring a collection of one of
a kind specialty brushes to the attention of the art/craft industry. With
introduction of Black Gold®
Waves, Whales Tail, Fountain, and Fandango brushes and the tremendous
interest that followed, they are the leader in brush innovation. Soon
other manufacturers began to see the importance; but as the original,
Black Gold®
still offers the most diversity in brush styles and techniques, and
quality construction flows from handle to bristle tip for each brush in
the entire line.
I credit Black Gold®
brushes for the creative edge they
have given me and for the simplicity
they’ve provided to paint subjects that had been time consuming or
frustrating previously. Applications with Black Gold®
and Dynasty®
Decorator brushes, whether traditional or non-traditional, bring the
fullest range of possibilities to any painting. The enduring quality and
performance of each Black Gold®
and Dynasty®
brush also make them an investment in success, and more can be achieved
using them than any others on the market today.
