Artist Statement: “Believing one paints from the heart, supported by good training, I am committed to continuing education studying with outstanding instructors in intensive classes and workshops. I believe a painting is a visual symphony, incorporating good composition, harmonious, interesting, visually engaging shapes and pleasing color values to give an individual uplifting pleasure when viewing the painting. Other creative endeavors are weaving, writing, storytelling and speaking. Participation in group and individual shows is an opportunity to share my art with other art lovers. At this point in my life, if it isn’t creative, it’s not on my To-Do list.”
