Artist Statement:

“It would be difficult to image a life without painting.  Art has always been an important part of my life; a retreat providing a form of mediation and satisfying my need to create. I am particularly drawn to still life, creating a scene that draws in the viewer.  Everywhere I look I can see possibilities for new paintings.  I carefully choose my subjects and arrange them to suggest a story, allowing the viewer their own interpretation.   After many years of painting, I continue to challenge myself.  Learning and growing in my art never stops as the process for each new work shows me not only where I am now, but where I want to go.”
