Artist Statement -



Artist’s statement.


Creating has become an intricately woven part of my life.
I must express nature, as it is my window to God.
I must delight in the human body, a marvel that never ceases to amaze.
I must express love and joy-this keeps them tangible in my life.
I must trust my instincts and skills allowing them to lead me in the right direction.

Most importantly: if my art can move a person to pause, think, smile, ponder, cry, laugh, be encouraged or give them hope, then I have served my purpose in life.”
