Artist Statement

I love color and movement.  

Everything stems from the layers of color. The result is a realistic abstraction of nature.

My inspiration is the nature that surrounds me which offers a vast variety of subject matter.

My painting is based on intuition and trusting my feelings

My passion is expressed by using colors that mirror my emotions.

Through my process of painting, I discovered that expressing and communicating joy is very important to me.

Experimentation is the source of my excitement during the painting process, dictated by the subject matter.

Just like with snowflakes…my work is never the same twice.

Artist Bio

‍

I am a graduate of Moore College of Art and studied with several know artists, including Giovanni Casadei, Paul DuSold, Alexander Shanks, Alan Sofer and others.

My work life took me astray of traditional artist expression. I had my own catering business for many years and was known for my artistic food displays.

I am now able to return to my root love…painting!
