ART MEDIUM:
Oil
Painting
Pastel
ARTIST'S STATEMENT:
My paintings are a story of a journey, began with trepidation, pursued with excitement, and filled with side trips of exploration (sometimes one step forward and two steps back). My goal is to spark a connection with the viewer, a visual current, whether it be content, composition, or color. I have found so much joy in painting and in the wonderful people I have come to know through art, that I hope a glimmer of this comes through.
