rt is a bridge from the artist to the viewer extending through time and space, a glimpse of eternity, as it is and was. Art is imagination. It emanates out of the artist's heart and mind, rather than what is seen literally. It is feeling made visible, rendering dreams and images from an unseen world.

I paint what I feel and reach out to the viewer with a story, an impression, an image, a memory, or an experience. I focus on the beautiful and depict the beauty and mystery of the subject, which speaks to me in special ways. I respond back by painting it.

My subjects come from a variety of sources. I paint landscapes, still life, florals, animals and figures. I love color and the way it works. I work in watercolors, oils, acrylics, pastel and colored pencil, with a rich and varied palette, because color is limitless. I especially love watercolor, which is a living, fluid medium. Color, form, light, shadow and composition are brought together in a unified whole.

Art is an ongoing, lifelong process. As a child, I always drew and painted. I always carried a box of crayons with me wherever I went. I worked in pastel at the age of seven. My first serious painting I did at fifteen. 
I hope you enjoy my work.
