It is rather like magic, seeing the images grow from
an experience or an emotion, to something visible. I
like to watch the paint move, to see the conversation
between the colors. I am always aware of the visual
rhythm of the art. Like a piece of music, it leads you
on to a crescendo and then gently out again. It
syncopates, drifts, or thunders.
I guess I'm a story teller. Using pastels, acrylics, or
oils, I create from my life experiences. I have been
painting professionally for over 20 years. Due to
various circumstances, I have only been able to
paint and show sporadically. Even so, I have
received local and national awards, and have sold
work from coast to coast. Now, circumstances have
changed and I look forward to showing up more
often.
