I attempt to capture the light and color that breathe life into the subjects I paint. I wish to carry the viewer on this this journey with me, to find interest in the ordinary.
I have always loved art. However, chose to pursue a career in education as a school counselor, got married and started a family; which left little time for art. I grew to miss it. During the past five years, I immersed myself in painting every chance I get and read all I can about art. I reconnected to my original love for painting. I love how it feels to start with a fresh piece of paper or canvas. It's like I am seeing something for the first time, when a study it to paint it. I apply paint and can't wait to see happens.
Pablo Picasso was quoted as saying, "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." This is what I am attempting to do - return to the art I love and see the world with fresh new eyes. ..The world is anew. It's full of vibrant colors, compositions, and perspectives. It feels like a rebirth.
I have lived on both coasts of the United States, Canada and Guam and now live in Zachary, Louisiana. I feel fortunate to have experienced the sites, food, friendly people and cultures. I hope my paintings capture a glimpse of all the natural beauty I have seen from places I have been.
I paint with watercolor, acrylic and soft pastel. I will consider commissioned work on request.
