ARTIST STATEMENT
As a painter I intentionally create fine art oil paintings filled with the transformational grace of beauty and its inherent power to heal.
The creative process is a healing balm for me and the work resulting from it carries that healing intention forward. Each stroke of the luminous oils are imbued with life and a place for the viewer to remember into each piece.
My delight in the subject is felt through the nuances of light and color. I’ve cultivated through a passionate pursuit of working from life a technique that portrays form accurately. You recognize it and take in the commonality of the scene and feel it through your own story. It is a sweet circle shared.
Celebrating beauty through art helps us to seek and find it in all situations. It transforms our experience, heals, soothes and blesses. That you receive all that and more is my intention with every creation.
