About Adrienne...
When I uncovered my ability to paint, I knew that an artist had been living inside me all of my life. I begin my paintings with the shapes and colors I see. The painting then comes to life as my feelings about the subject surface. I enjoy experimenting with color and texture, so each piece is different in some way. I am particularly drawn to people, boats, water, and dogs as my subjects. Painting has become an integral part of who I am and how I see the world around me. My photographs have been a springboard for many of my paintings. I prefer painting with acrylic on stretched canvas. Additionally, I enjoy pencil drawing and learning about pastel art.
