Art is life. It's messy, glorious, unexpected, planned, spontaneous, and sometimes surprising. You trust, go for it, sometimes it all works out and sometimes you start over. Often you fall in love.
The first time I painted a face, I was hooked. I am always amazed with the characters who come to life under my paint brush. It is as if their essence is not coming from me, but from their creative spirit longing to be "born." I fall in love with them all.

Contemporary abstract images are a wonderful exploration of trust and adventure. I often begin with an urge to make one stroke, having no idea what will come next. I follow my first impulse, not looking too far ahead, but trusting that the second impulse will come for "what's next." This journey reminds me of life and I love the surprises!
My art journey began late in life. One day I was inspired to remove all the bought art in my home and paint something myself, just to see what would happen. That day was the beginning of a new and unexpected passion for painting and I've never looked back!
