Painting often becomes an obsessive passion, consuming all my energy and thought until the piece is done.

Painting is my passion. It is my way of sharing my happiness and life experiences with you, the viewer. Creative energy is a wonderful avenue to share positive emotion and expression. There is so much beauty in nature and I love to express it with bold and vibrant colors. My subjects and styles are always in flux, impressionism, realism, whimsical, whether I'm painting landscapes, florals or figurative work. Each piece holds a very special place in my heart, because of the pure joy of its creation. I'm inspired by my travels, the beauty of nature, love and romance, and the human spirit. My women are strong and proud, often conveying their life's story. My landscapes depict the changing seasons, magnificent skies, and the diverse world.
