Artist's Statement

“The intention of my work is to provide a colorful and warm impression of a place and a memory.  My paintings come more from the heart than from the head. Light becomes central with the way it wraps around forms and creates a glow. With paint and energy of brushstrokes, the harmonies and notes of color provide a healing moment, and a visual respite. It is my hope that viewers of my work relive a memory, gain a smile and experience a happy heart. It's always a joy to collaborate with clients and patrons to create specific works to bring energy, color and light into a space.”
