I approach my work as a journey, both into the subconscious of the mind and the soul of the painting.My art has taught me who I am and now I work toward where I am going. Finding my way into the canvas is only half the journey; finding my way out completes the intimacy I hope to share with the viewer. My inspiration comes from the air we breathe,the breeze we feel,the beauty we see, the Flowers we smell,the earth that maintains us, and the life we live.
