ARTIST’S STATEMENT

For me, painting is more than applying color to a canvas. It’s putting my view of the world out there for others to see, enjoy, judge, and hopefully appreciate. If there is one constant with my work, it is my use of color.  I have loved to draw for as long as I can remember, and have always had an appreciation for vivid colors. Nature is a wonderful muse, and you will find in my work a love of the outdoors, no doubt cultivated by my mid-western upbringing.  It’s not often that a person has an opportunity to follow their dreams, to dedicate their lives to something they truly love. I am fortunate to be in this position.
