Artist Statement

I am intrigued by the process of creating a mood or feeling in my paintings.  The reality of a subject is not my focus.  Instead, I love the way color and a painterly stroke of the brush can make a painting come alive.  This is a very personal journey for me, one I have been working towards my entire life.  I am very proud to say that I am an artist.  I hope my art touches you in some way, evokes an emotion within you - maybe something you forgot along the way...
