"Art is my passion. The thrill of experiencing something beautiful and sharing it with others is magic and the joy for me is in the creation. In my work I seek to portray the beauty in everyday scenes. I encourage viewers to take a moment to see and appreciate the way the light falls on a country road, or the brilliant colors of freshly arranged flowers in a vase, or the aftermath of a delicious meal shared with others. Color excites me! I paint what I love with all my heart. My hope is that my paintings will ring true and touch the lives of others in a meaningful way."
