STATEMENT
My art expresses the joy and wonderment at the beauty and goodness I see in the world. I am strengthened by everyday charm and want to share this with others. With a focus upon family and dance themes, my art is as much an expression of the beauty, as it is a statement that I will never take these blessings for granted.
I sign my images with "Thanks", indicating how grateful and appreciative I am of the talents God has given me, of my family for support, and also of my mentors and clients for their participation in this journey.
