ARTIST STATEMENT
Nature has always been a fascination of mine. It’s no surprise that I see reflected in my art nature’s serenity. My Alcohol Ink paintings compositions project a surreal quality and calmness in an abstract dream-like landscape form. I find myself drawn to the blazing colors of sunsets, the tranquility of a forest, a flowing river or the colors and creatures of the ocean. I seek to capture that kind of beauty, moment, or feeling in my artwork.
My journey as an artist has been one of transitions as I’ve explored and experimented with different mediums in art. After spending twenty plus years as a Graphic Designer, I decided to return to creating in a traditional form. Working with paints, 3D collage, clay, wood, metals, jewelry and glass.
My art is an expression of my humanity and my spiritual growth; it helps me to live consciously and courageously with compassion. As an artist and teacher, if I awaken someone else's spirit and inspire them to create; it brings me joy to see another embrace their uniqueness! I believe that inspiration comes in all forms. May your journey as an artist be one of your true nature.
