Artist Statement

I love the creative process. I want the painting to evolve from a clean white surface to a well-designed painting of shapes, line and color. Like many artists I didn’t always paint this way. I started painting what I saw, flowers, landscapes and etc. But I wanted to put more of myself into my work. I took a workshop with Carole Barnes and she told us to push ourselves – to paint what we felt. From that workshop I took away a new way of looking at everything. I wanted to learn more so I took workshops from Pat Dews, Carrie Burns Brown, Katherine Chang Liu and just recently Mary Todd Beam.

This has become my passion to paint what I see and feel inside, to reveal a little of life in my colorful paintings. The contrasts of the colors mirror the contrasts of our lives and relationships. Works of art are like visual songs. You have to view art to experience it just as you must listen to music to enjoy the melodies. Art is the way the world communicates.
