The desire to paint has been with me my whole life. The love of color and the blending of different hues excite me. The challenge is to see the subtle differences in color in an object or subject. To push the color to enhance it, to excite it, thrills me. To see what I have done and wonder how I did it amazes me. The pleasure to finally find myself and to express it in my art gives me the greatest joy of my life. The whole world fades away, and I am wonderfully lost in time. It is my hope that you share the excitement in my paintings and enjoy how I express myself in art. Perhaps Robert Henri, the famous art teacher and author of The Art Spirit, said it best, and I agree, “When the brush touches the surface, the soul speaks.”
