My
paintings are a journal of how I see the world. In
my world, light takes on vibrant hues, buildings glow, gray
horses become blue in clear luminous light, angels and birds
and mystical creatures appear, stars sparkle in the sky, day
mixes with night and people take on the most beautiful personas
that are within them. My paintings reflect a world of peace
and harmony--of love and faith and celebration.
I am a self-taught artist.
I started painting in October of 2003 after 30 some years
of procrastination. My ability to paint came as a spontaneous
gift, and since that time I have painted over 300 paintings.
I paint 3-4 days a week, 4-6 hours a day/night, in the studio
that I built onto the back of my house--surrounded by four
cats, my husband David and son Trevor. Outside my studio is
my garden bursting with much of the color and life that inspires
my paintings.
