I am by nature a very quiet person.  My art gives me a way to communicate with people and share life experiences that I otherwise wouldn’t be able to. We have all gone through hard times, but if we can be more open about our experiences we will find the support we need to preserver.

It is from my own life experiences that I find inspiration to create emotional portraits.  My art has helped me become more aware of myself and who I am. Just by listening we can discover so much about ourselves or others and be inspired by the strength we witness. 

I also enjoy painting scenes of children playing or going about their day.  For me there is nothing more beautiful than a happy child.  Sometimes we tend to forget the happy and peaceful memories from our past, so I choose to paint them.  I find so much inspiration from my own children but also from my time I spent with my grandparents. 

My passion is to create art that evokes emotion.
