The goal of my paintings is to lead the viewer into my world of nature thru abstracted images. I paint because I love the process, from color, composition, line, form and intuition. I approach my work with passion and creative choices.
Landscapes, birds and animals are my current subject matter. As I paint I commune and connect with nature. In the beginning I draw what I see and it becomes what I feel.
During painting I transform familiar objects, representing them just enough for the viewer to make their own meaning from my abstraction while allowing the viewer to take time to appreciate and to personally assess.

“The emotions are sometimes so strong that I work without knowing it. The strokes come like speech.” Vincent van Gogh
“How you draw is a reflection of how you feel about the world. You’re not capturing it, you’re interpreting it.”
― Juliette Aristides
“What keeps my heart awake is colorful silence.” Claude Monet
