The Arts have always been a huge part of my life, but painting is my passion. Getting lost in the process, learning and creating something meaningful and/or beautiful is like a drug. Magically, this experience is different every single time. When it’s right, you feel it in your heart and soul.
“When you are working well and all your instinctive powers are in operation, you don’t know why you do the things you do.” – Dorothea Lange
Originally I was an abstract oil painter. Intuitively I would add more paint, movement, shape and texture to the work. As the piece developed, the color would bring me into the painting. My work was emotionally expressive, pressing my feelings out onto the canvas. Now, drawing with pastels my work is more about deliberate choices. My painting compositions reflect my stories about travel, love and family. My inspiration is derived from mother nature, learning and exploring the world outside myself as well as my internal journey of self-reflection.
