Artist Statement
In some way, our identity in life is determined by what and how we communicate with our world. Painting is one of those ways I use to reflect what is within me and also interact with and touch those around me. It is a way I seek to be understood by others and also to understand myself. Whether we express ourselves through painting, writing, speaking, or other methods, we all have an innate need to communicate who we are and what is important to us. It is how we express our passion, our love, our fear, our hope, our humor. Indeed, my art contains all of these - some readily apparent, others intentionally hidden. Georgia O'Keeffe spoke for me when she said, I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.
