I like how I feel when I create art. Choosing a brush, holding it in my hand, dipping into paint,
making strokes on varied surfaces exhilarates me. Where should I go next? What color?
Each decision is a part of a finished piece that expresses what I can’t put into words.

My art is inspired by nature—flowers, fruits, leaves, trees, and landscapes.
Though I take a direct approach, I don’t fill in all the details.
The viewer’s imagination and the artist’s concept, is a dialogue that art can provide.

My compositions are intuitive with abundant color. I am currently focusing on large
surfaces which gives me a sense of stepping
into the subject of my painting.

For the last seventeen years, graphic design has been my profession.
This has influenced my art with strong design and the use of patterns.
Curves, swirls, and fullness emerge in my work.
Close attention to texture produces unique results.

I know a piece is done when I can stand back and look at it
without feeling as if I have to fix something.
