Artist Statement:

Creating has always been in my soul. It has taken on many forms over the years until settling in watercolor, quilting, knitting and fabric collage.

Oil painting is and has been my media of choice. One starts off simple and it either loses you or snares you. I was forever trapped in this wonderful fluid medium. My love and draw was always toward the impressionists. I took many, many workshops from impressionist painters and always learned something, but was also frustrated and never really satisfied. I won awards and sold a lot of paintings but something was missing for me.

Then I quit painting for several years and only recently have begun again. It has been freeing! I am painting for me; experimenting and taking chances. My work is about color, movement and feeling. If a subject grabs me, I want it to grab you. Let me introduce you to taking chances, taking risks and starting over and over...........
