After years of painting, I’ve learned how to ditch my inner critic and laugh at my ego. Gratefully I finally realized creating art is my passion and have devoted my life to that passion.
I paint Florals because life is tenuous. Flowers remind us we are only here a short time and to enjoy it.
I paint Nature because nature heals. Too many of us are too often disconnected from the natural world, My paintings help maintain that connection.
I paint Abstracts because they change as you change. Collectors of my art tell me everytime they look at my abstracts they see it in a new way. Abstracts are mood rings for your space. They reflect your emotions and surprise you with what your subconscious mind may be pondering.
I paint full time and have done so for over 20 years, so I'm no spring chicken but still have fresh paint and brushes with spring in them. Not comparing myself to Monet but I've determined I will do what he did = have the brushes tied to his little old hands so he could paint till he dropped.
My art has been purchased by people from many countries around the world. I've shown and been awarded at art shows such as Ironstone Spring Art Show and Gallo’s Annual Art show. I’ve exhibited in San Joaquin, Calaveras, Tuolumne, and San Mateo Counties as well as Embler Airport Art Galleries at JFK Airport, New York, Miami, Florida, and Sao Paolo Brazil. I’ve also had my art in Art Slant Hong Kong. Currently my art can be seen by appointment at my Atelier in East Sonora or of course on this online gallery.
My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
