My belief that stories are the glue that bind us together in the human experience began as a hairdresser while listening to customers tell me about their lives. From love, death, weddings, babies, vacations, abuse, the threads that weave our personal fabric, we are singular yet bound. Similarly, the connectedness to a loving source and every living being is what inspires the color, light and form that lies at the heart of each brush stroke. Inspiration comes from nature, observing behavior, and the delight that each moment is important. Yet, that fleeting passage possesses meaning worthy of recording.
Truly, I believe that individual joy and freedom is the calling for us all. What brings me joy, I manifest in a painting. From hearing pearls of wisdom to finding a feather, I revel in this place because this is my turn to be here, painting a narrative that will hopefully resonate in the heart of another.
