Artist Statement

The amazing thing to me about art is in the idea of the visual as a shared experience. It is communication across cultures, time and experiences. There  is magic in art, inviting all to look, and yet allowing each individual to interpret that image in their mind’s eye. Both the artist and the viewer can learn from each other, and that sharing leads to discovery on both sides. It is that communication that inspires me to keep painting and sharing my work.
