My Grandma gave me my first set of paints when I was in the 4th grade and I've been painting ever since! I love working in all mediums but my true passion is Oil Painting on Canvas. Oil colors are alive and the way oil paint blends allows me to get the kind of glow I desire. Whether it's my traditional landscapes, my more whimsical landscapes or my "Splurges" the eventual goal is the same - A work of art that invites the viewer to step back and relax into a special moment in time. I'm enthusiastic about capturing the sunlight at it's most enchanting time of day. I paint not only what the eye perceives but the way the wind blows through the canyon, the way a variety of sounds mingle throughout the forest, the way light changes as it drifts along with the clouds and the feel of shoreline tides washing over toes and stones. It's the story of a place that invites me to tell it with Paint!
