Artist Statement:
I paint what intrigues me and
that is darkness & light and
all the shades between both
bold and subtle in the both
physical rhealm and the
spiritual within. I am
especially inspired by the
magic and beauty found in
nature, the strength of the
human spirit to go on despite
our obstacles and limitations.
Of seeking and portraying that
state of mind that resides in
the field between wake and
dream where all things are
posible. I want to enchant the
viewer into my world...with a
hint
that more is happening than
what you first may see in my
works the same as I believe is
happening in life.
Biography
I have been interested in
art for as far back as I can
remember and I have always
been particularly fascinated
by natures "little
details".Even as a toddler at
the of age 2 when I drew for
the first time it was of a
little goldfish complete with
gills and even scales.
Unfortunately it was drawn on
my Mothers kitchen blackboard
used for recipes. It remained
as long as the
elements would let it.
I was self taught until high
school and did not have any
artistic mentor ...

| Your Personal Biography |
I paint what intrigues me most, things of the spirit, the invisible and intangible. Many are often steeped in symbolism. It is my aim to stir all the senses. I'm especially inspired by the pure things, however rare. The awe inspiring beauty found in nature, and of the spirit. I seek toportray that state of mind that resides in some misty field between wake and dream, where all things are possible.
I want to enchant the viewer into my world...with a hint that more is happening than what you first may see..., much the same as what I believe is happening in real life
Biography
I have been interested in art for as far back as I can remember and I have always been particularly fascinated by natures 'littledetails'. As a child of 2, my first drawing was a fish. It wasn't abstract like most children's drawings but was complete with fins, gills and even scales. Unfortunately it was drawn on my Mother's kitchen blackboard used for recipes. It remained as long as the elements would let it.
I studied Fine Arts at Weber State University in Utah and it wasthere that I became enchanted and inspired by the works of some of my favorite artists Mackintosh, Klimt, Parrish, Mucha and Rodin. I have often been told that my works are reminiscent of theirs and to me that is a wonderful compliment. I have heard that imitation is the greatest form of flattery and although I don't seek to imitate any of them specifically, I do try to learn from, draw upon and develop elements of their art that I find particularly appealing.
It is my desire to express, inspire and pass along within my art, that realm of enchantment and mysteries that brings forthsuch joy to me, on to you.

I was self taught until high school and did not have any artistic mentor in my life until then when a particular teacher, Mr. Johnson took me under his wing and introduced me to the world of watercolor of which I have grown so fond of. It was he and my Mother who
encouraged me to believe in my gifts and to continue in my art education after High School. I went on to Weber State University and it was there that I became enchanted and inspired by the works of my favorite artists Klimpt, Parrish, Mucha and Rodin. I have often been told that my works are reminiscent of their work and to me that is a great compliment. I have heard
