Artist’s Statement
I believe that every day holds the promise of a special moment. In this fast paced world we live in, I am inspired by the challenge to find that moment and share it with others.
I try to incorporate my love of the outdoors and the seasonal changes in all of my work. Nature provides us with many visual opportunities each day, if we only learn to take notice.
I enjoy taking the time to find the beauty that surrounds us and offer it to you.
With each day comes a new beginning. I treat each day like it is a new palet
