Artist Statement
Art is something I have enjoyed since I was very young. As an adult I decided to go back to school
to study Fine Art. Each different medium interested me, but I fell in love with oils. I enjoy the act of painting
and seeing something come from nothing on the canvas. I think of painting the way most people think of
breathing, it's something I naturally do.
I like to go back and forth between the realistic and abstract, and sometimes use abstract paint in my
realistic painting subjects. In both I like my paint, color, texture, layering of strokes and space created to be
interesting now and still have more in it to discover later. It is important to me to make paintings with good
energy that evoke good feelings.
