Artist Statement
"Art takes me to a fanciful, fabulous place surrounded by beautiful color and dramatic feeling. My creations are an expression of what I sense in the world around me. I strive to convey my feelings through the use of many layers of color, texture, and movement. My hope is that you will be inspired and energized by what you see–that you will feel a connection that evokes good feelings and creates a special memory. I long for my art to take you, as it does me, to a fanciful fabulous place".
