ARTIST STATEMENT
I believe that my paintings come from a place that all artists must tap into in order to express themselves. Once one is in that creative flow then all things are possible. Painting every day is a wonderful discipline and it keeps one in that creative flow or in that ‘place’ that only those that create know of. This place is where time stops and all else ceases to exist. When I am painting this place becomes my entire universe. It is a sacred and treasured place that I find myself needing to connect with time and time again. Hopefully you will enjoy the products of my time spent in that wonderful creative space.
I am a self taught artist and have been painting off and on for the past 15 years. My experience is primarily in oils and landscapes and I thought it time to seek a new challenge and branch out with abstract art and in using acrylics. Using acrylic paints and painting abstract art is turning out to be quite a lovely challenge and one I'm enjoying very much. I definitely have a greater respect for the very talented abstract artists I've recently become more acquainted with. I'll be listing artwork several times a week so check back often to see what has been my latest creative passion.
