In my earliest memories I am either creating art or observing the natural world around me. I would spend hours drawing or painting. I found nourishment in the images that I created.
As human beings, I believe that it is our nature to create art. As a teacher, I delight in helping others to find enjoyment in the creative process. In my own art, I love to indulge in whatever it is that I’m most excited about. Usually it’s butterflies, turtles, trees, people or some other facet of the environment.
I am most inspired by the art of Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Mary Cassatt, Henri Matisse, Vincent van Gogh and Lorraine O’Grady among others.
I hope that the viewer finds in my art a place of refuge, comfort and beauty.
