ABOUT THE ARTIST

Artist’s Statement and Bio

When I choose a subject and begin to paint, it is because I have a visceral response to what I view. My goal is to gain that same emotional reaction from those who observe my renditions, whether my paintings are no bigger than three inches or more than three feet tall. Despite these rather serious aspirations, I simply want my work to be enjoyed.

I have always studied art. After years of teaching outside of the world of art and then working in graphic design, I decided it was time to leave “safer” professions to follow my heart into the world of painting. During the last four years, I have made a concentrated effort to become a professional in the field. In the past, I have been blessed and honored to have studied and work with talented folk who have strongly encouraged me as I travel this path. I will continue to strive with passion.
