Artist's Statement -
Every painting I do is inspired by something I see around me. I strive to express each in a unique piece of art. I have used a variety of media over the years. Watercolor has a feeling of lightness I find lovely and acrylics can produce wonderful texture and color. During the time I have been painting my interest in finding what these mediums can do has grown. The content of my work is constantly evolving. This state of change is something that all artists embrace. It is through challenge that growth occurs.
