Artist Statement

Creating art is an ever changing, learning and evolving process.
The journey of creating and doing what I love has provided me with a process of discovery and expression;
exploring who I am and what I can convey through my art. My communication with the world has always
been most clearly shared and understood through visual expression.

Passion for communicating and honoring the gifts I have been blessed with are the catalysts that drive me to capture the spirit of a person, place or a feeling on canvas.
I have a yearning to always draw, always create and share a glimpse of who I am through the creation of art.
