About
"I love art. I believe it can transform people"
- Beatrix Milhazes
Painting is a language that is my preferred form of self expression. The curiosity and love I feel for the natural world finds a voice with brush and paint. Color makes it sing.
The quality of light and its effects on the environment here in the Pacific Northwest is an endless source of fascination for me. The subtle changes it creates on the leaves, flowers and trees are remarkable and art-worthy. I am never happier than when I'm trying to capture, and recreate on the canvas, an interesting image. The challenge is captivating and all consuming.
