ARTIST STATEMENT

“Discovering an expression through painting came later in life for me. I made a massive shift in my life that was very painful - it was like jumping off a cliff into the unknown. I initially lost almost everyone in my life, but I held on to a deep faith that there was something more. There was a short time of darkness until my life grew beyond what I could have imagined. Finding myself opened my eyes to color, detail, love, and a fullness of life that I hadn’t experienced before. It was what inspired my desire to learn how to paint. I’m continually growing and learning how to capture my passion for life in paint. My hope is that my art inspires a sense of freedom and acceptance. That others catch a glimpse of the world’s mystery and beauty - how the light illuminates the landscape around us, the shifting clouds, shadows, darkness and light.”
