For me, the urge to create art is inborn and untamable. It’s who I am. I am a visual treasure hunter, a gleeful treasure finder, a seasoned wrestler of color, value, shape and line. I am an insatiable student of art who never wants to graduate. I “paint about”  feelings and reminiscences, light and weather conditions – things that are challenging to translate into paint. I want my work to be purposeful - to stir emotions, send messages, rouse feelings, inspire to action. Sometimes I hit the mark; often I don’t, but I keep on trying, joyfully.
