Artist Statement
Art has always been a part of me. It has been my savior, my demon, my curse, my gift and always my very best friend. All I am, all that I was and all that I ever will be is found in the strokes of color I create in pastel and paint and place on paper and canvas. Speak to me and you will learn little, look at my paintings and you know my life story.
