Artist's Statement

There is no greater life celebration for me than painting. All the elements of my journey - heart, soul, spirit, family, friends and body gently collide on the canvas. And it is there that my sincere offerings of gratitude and joy emerge. In that place, we meet and the delight I feel is extended to you.

I start each painting by asking for guidance, as I truly believe I am simply a conduit. From there, ebony lines and shapes emerge to provide a sturdy footing for the journey of color. With the exuberance of a child who has just received her first pack of 64 crayons, I impetuously play and push pigments about my palette.

After layering paint like phylo dough, I unearth bedrock colors and impulsively enshroud others until total contentment surfaces. With a scratch of my signature I conclusively send my greeting of jubilance.

And that, my friend, is my offering to you and the universe.
