artist's statement

I believe that art should change you. Lingering over an image and exploring what it has to offer is a pleasure.

In my painting, I focus on the mix of randomly occurring forms and colors found in the earth and sky and I find faces and human forms intermingled among them. We are united by our origins in the same speck of primoridal dust and we return to it in the end. The mind pulls us through our own universe in a sort of dance amidst the light and clouds. There is no other experience beyond our own. We dance with the stars that flow through the universe.

Over my life thus far, I have found creative expression in many forms. I have found joy in a long, happy marriage, raising three sons, and my practice of the dance that is Family Therapy and Counseling with young children. I returned to painting with a passion and I am thankful for the rush of expression that I now enjoy.
