ARTIST STATEMENT


I want the art that I create to make a sensory impression on the viewer.
As I work, the art evolves, becoming a process of discovery.

Working from memory and imagination ignites my passion and purpose.
This is an exciting and challenging way to make art.
I enjoy the freedom to invent and explore.

People fascinate and inspire me. Life touches and moves me.

I paint with acrylics, sometimes applying collage.
I make ink drawings and I like to use colored pencils and oil pastels.
