Artist’s Statement

Painting is, for me, a vehicle for personal growth, not only in technique, but in examining the world around me and my response to that world.  The intense joy that comes from completely losing myself in the painting process is a powerful experience in and of itself.  And when the finished painting resonates with another person, there is a joy and sense of communion that is very satisfying.
