Artists Statement

My art reflects my spiritual and physical response to the environment. The imagery used in my work is derived from a communion with the natural world, stimulating my creativity and sense of well being.

While painting, I lose my conscious being as a personal dialogue is established between my spiritual self and the canvas. By integrating concept, design, and color, I establish the boundaries of my composition, enabling me to develop a cohesive, unified painting.

My goal is to reflect the beauty and peace which I experience during the painting process. I strive to provide the viewer with a sense of tranquility and the opportunity to feel a stillness and quiet in the soul ~ a refuge from the frenetic pace of todays' world.
