My life experiences have become reality through my art:

first in journals as I am actually experiencing the events…

then on to the canvas as I push the paint, re-living the colors, smells, conversations, feelings, the essence of those moments.

This is my “modus operendi” and who I am!

 

Realizing how precious my time has become, I am no longer willing to squander my time and art on anything that does not nourish my true self.

In the past ten years I have been able to put myself in the way of change.

That being said, CHANGE is now my muse, my mantra and has enabled my work to become an expression of this gift of art.

 

The mystery of color and imagination, as John O’Donohue so aptly stated, is the place where I am the most content.

And I have the tools to capture just that….JOURNALS AND CANVAS.

 

I make the subject my own by singling out what means the most to me.

That element is then “staggered” and the painting is pushed just beyond realism…

perhaps capturing the fragile affinity between my spirit and my art.
