I have always been interested in all aspects of art. After experimenting with various mediums, I have come full circle back to painting as my primary interest, with color being the biggest focus. The pattern and interplay between light and shadow is one of the things that interests me most. A series of chair paintings explores the objects and the negative spaces. Our Lady of Guadalupe paintings explore the southwest saints iconic image. Painted in oil with 18 caret gold accents, the images information is recorded on the painted canvas edges. Ongoing are the plein air paintings done in & around Tucson. Fenelon is in collections in US and Europe.
