artist statement
I am compelled to paint. It is a passion that stirs from my core, so much so even when I sleep, I am dreaming about a painting and the subject matter, before I even touch the canvas. On the surface, my paintings resound with a direct message of empowerment. Beginning with marks made on the canvas, lines and shapes create the framework of each painting followed by intentional layers of textures, pattern, and vibrant color. The depth of the message increases and intensifies as I capture the image with impulsive brushstrokes, followed by a final layer of delicate refinement. With every piece I create, I watch my life unfold on the canvas. Every part of my process is woven into a facet of my life. Although my art is very personal, my collectors find it very universal. These brushstrokes leave imprints on the lives of all those who choose to receive them.
AS THE DOE
Reminded to rest,
And embrace the beauty that surrounds her;
To sit with nature,
And plant herself like a tree by the river;
To drink from the living stream,
And be refreshed;
To feel growth thru the waiting like the flowers, the fruit, and all creation.
And celebrate the beauty of becoming;
She is…. “As the Doe”

ABOVE ALL
The earth; it groans. I groan too, longing for you to roar and silence the noise. Seeking justice & truth. In the darkness, amidst the fires & the rising waters, You bring chaos into order. Not with a roar to make the earth your footstool; No. Your presence alone brings peace. All is secure and comforted, As I am caught up in your luminous gaze. The far things are brought near. You call to me in a quiet whisper, and it’s there I find you… “Above All.”
