Artist Statement
I have been painting and studying art over the past decade or so. I have been fortunate to work with Bea Nelson and other artists over the years. Painting, I find, softens the soul. It is a peaceful time for me. The outside forces just wither away and I’m focused on the project at hand. It is my happy place. I find I am in tune to the depths and shapes and colors of the forest, plants and animals and in trying to get their likenesses challenging.
