Artist Statement

It is the beauty of Godʼs magnificent artistry in the world around me that inspires me to paint. I love light. It transforms the mundane into the spectacular. I stand in awe. Colors, rhythmic patterns, and beautiful form perform as if dancing to unheard music. This is what I try to capture in my artwork. It brings me great joy and purpose in life to birth on canvas those things which stir my soul.

I love rhythmic, well-designed compositions with a lot of ʻfood for the eyeʼ. I am a representational painter by choice. I feel that my affinity towards realism enhances the message I am trying to convey. Concept and design are paramount, but by offering complex compositions, full of detail, the eye can keep traveling around the painting discovering something new every step of the way.

Acrylic painting, 22"x20".

 My husband used to belong to a group of  young men who performed Indian dances sponsored by our local YMCA.  They made their own regalia and did the beadwork themselves.  This painting was done as a tribute to his fine craftsmanship.  The title was his Indian name which means The Provider, which he has always been.
