My art is a form of expressionism, sometimes abstract expression. In my art I seek a pure visual satisfaction, no more. I try to put serenity and simplicity in my pictures. Color, texture, and simple shapes are used to create harmony in the painting. Often I use symbols to speak to the viewer. I believe that all living things have a connection, not just in the time of their life, but in a linear fashion.

My art is a means of intimate expression and I hope that all of the images, and even all of the symbols which I use will reflect my love for a certain feeling.  I hope that my paintings will evoke that feeling by simply being around. I want to stay enchanted with nature and the world and knowledge and science are inadequate in keeping that enchantment alive.

I am not “formally” trained in painting – am self-taught through viewing the paintings of others, from the novice to the great masters.

I am self taught through experimentation… Experimentation with color, form and texture to achieve the expression that I desire. I am still learning and I am still enchanted with nature and her rhythm.
