Artist's Statement

"One of the greatest things about being an artist is learning something new every day. Painting for me is an exciting process of trying to convey a part of myself and what I have taken from my surroundings. I love working with color, trying to control it, but at the same time giving it the freedom of bringing everything together in a painting. The most fun is to start a painting and get totally lost in it! It's the greatest! I'm thankful for this creative vein that runs through me and connects me with artists all over the world and most of all connects me with the greatest Creator of all. 
I always want to improve in my work.  That is the biggest motivator of all.
  I have been fortunate to take classes from Libby Tolley, Kevin Macpherson, Kim English, Dee Beard Dean, Larry Moore.and Perry Austin. I have also been in workshops with Robert Johnson and Dan Gerhertz. 
I have a small studio in the woods behind my house.  It is my place to commune with the outdoors, reflect and to get into the creative part of my personality.  Painting requires lots of work. I am so thankful for a husband who supports my endeavors in the art world.
