My practice is centered around the experience of working from life and invention. Tuning into the present moment, and translating what is around me into paint is the utmost challenge and pleasure. I love the act of painting; it is when I feel completely free. Telling stories, creating visual worlds and appreciating nature through art is my greatest joy. Everyday I give thanks for the opportunity to create and share it with others. 

My paintings are my dreams and my life.
