Artist Statement:
I enjoy making art for many
different reasons. Mostly it's
symbolism of the objects and
how it relates to the story or
feelings that I'm trying to
express. Sometimes it's the
beauty of a scene, the
lighting, colors, composition.
Sometimes it's the person.
Inspiration comes from ...

| Your Personal Biography |
As a kid I always drew. I loved drawing and I knew that I wanted to be an artist, whatever that meant, that's what I wanted to be when I grew up. I didn't begin painting until 1997 when a friend helped me to get started. My life has been involved with it ever since then.
While I was experimenting with oil paint, tempera and watercolor I got involved with murals and canvas murals. It's really exciting to have a huge blank wall or canvas in front of you!
I have been actively working as a mural painter and decorative finisher for the last several years now but not until 2007 have I begun showing my fine art. Once I bypassed my own fears about showing it has become very liberating and healthy. I encourage anyone who is struggling with fear of showing your work to try to overcome it. There is a big world out there and people want to see you and your work in it! |

| Artist Statement |
I enjoy making art for many different reasons. Mostly it's symbolism of the objects and how it relates to the story or feelings that I'm trying to express. Sometimes it's the beauty of a scene, the lighting, colors, composition. Sometimes it's the person. Inspiration comes from so many different places. A lot of times an image won't leave me until it's been painted or drawn. The most frequent themes in my work are love, light, communication, nature, and music. The biggest reward for me is when I can express something that others can relate to.
I encourage anyone who is apprehensive about showing their work to take a step out of comfort and show and to try to keep in the foreground of your mind how seeing others' work has inspired you so much :)
