"I am a representational painter who responds to my immediate environment, a place and a moment in time that feeds my soul and inspires my art. I respond to the vibrancy, subtleties and shadows that nature may offer at a given moment. I also delight in the form, texture and color found in everyday objects. 

My work is always evolving as I explore new techniques and materials and discover new ways to experiment with the pastel medium, watercolors and oils."
