Artist's statement
My art is the culmination of a life-long obsession with art. It nourishes the spirit and reminds me that goodness and beauty are all around—and within. It’s my hope that my work will give viewers a peaceful place to pause from life’s daily demands. I like to strip away distraction and focus on the light, patterns and color that attract me to a scene. More
