I am an artist who paints contemporary abstracts in acrylic and still lifes in oil. Allow my paintings to touch your heart.
I just love the creative process. Sometimes I take a while before I begin a painting. As ideas flood my mind, I get in tune with the blank canvas. The process is pretty much the same whether I'm painting a wild, highly textured abstract in acrylics or a more structured still life in oil. A blank canvas holds so many possibilities.
Everyone has a song to sing, a tale to tell...my story is found in my paintings.

My favorite poem:
HOPE IS THE THING WITH FEATHERS
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all.
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
- Emily Dickenson

That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all.
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm

That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
