Artist Statement: Art is a natural outlet for me. I am intrigued by the common, every day occurrence in life. Capturing the moods and feelings in my daily life and the unusual experiences from my travels is a delightful challenge. Nature and the quirkiest aspects of life are always an inspiration. Whether it's finding something to paint that reminds me of a childhood memory, something cherished or something of beauty always brings joy to me.
