ARTIST STATEMENT
I have a passion for the creative process and my aim is to create timeless images of the spirit. Art has a special way of piercing the artist’s heart as well as its viewers. My paintings depict my quest for truth, goodness, and beauty. Before my easel, I practice meditation or centering prayer and I intend to relinquish my personal control of the brush to God's energy which results in unexpected gifts that I humbly receive. I hope others enjoy my work as well.
