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. |
