I\u2019ve been so fortunate to have traveled to many beautiful places which always inspire me to paint.<\/p>\n

Inspiration for my work comes from the many photos I snap as well as the memories in my mind and heart.<\/p>\n

I paint exclusively with oil. I love the feel as the paint transfers from the brush or knife onto the canvas.<\/p>\n

I start with an idea and a vision and sometimes a sketch. Almost always, the painting flows in a totally different direction.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s always a story to tell. I am just the vessel.<\/p>\n

If my art makes you smile and brings you joy, I consider myself successful and blessed.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLush, thick, puddles of color\u2026An idea\u2026Music\u2026That\u2019s how it starts; then a story evolves\u2026 I\u2019m just the instrument used to tell the story.There is suspense and mystery until the very last brush stroke is applied!<\/p>\n

My hope is that my paintings bring conversation, joy and happiness into the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
