“My passion is painting. It’s in my DNA. The process of painting, defining and redefining my voice on the canvas has been an intuitive and authentic journey for 35 years working professionally as an artist… and counting. Direct observation of everyday life and a simple awareness of the world around me fuel ideas that “poof” into my head and then translate to the canvas. Inspiration and energy and friendship are endless and for this I am grateful.
Whether the art is a loose representation of an actual object or an idea that connects with the soul…color, form, mood, light, music, conversation, dreams and travel… all are an integral part of the dialogue with my paints and the canvas. I am a firm believer that in order to be a successful abstract painter, one must have the underlying draftsmanship of drawing. Concepts are a fine balance of push and pull, color and light, exploration and letting go of fear and often times putting myself out of my comfort zone as a mode of impulsive growth. We cannot be anyone other than who we are and God is always ever present & a vast amount of spirit guides.”
Mission Statement
Art enhances life.
Color, form and texture can transform a space.
I strive to create art that reflects my artistic endeavors and enriches an environment.
Intuition, vision & insight contribute to the process of making art, enhancing life in
big ways, small ways and ALL ways that touch the soul.
