My Process.

To fully engross yourself in the beauty that surrounds you. To see it. Smell it. Taste it. Touch it. Make memories that become stories told for years to come. To truly experience a place, you must also come face to face with discomfort and grapple with the fact that you are small.

A frozen moment in time. Intent study. Complete focus. Utter calmness and peace. This is how I feel as I work on a painting. When I pause to behold the intricacies in photographs I’ve taken from places I’ve connected with; I am left in awe.

I love the tactile element of paint. Time alone to play! Hours blur together as my mind is consumed by colors, values and shapes. I am grateful for the ability to discover endless combinations as I turn my observations into art.

I hope my art brings joy, life, and color into your world, and that my process encourages you to explore, observe, create, and share your special moments in your own form of creative expression. To share your art is to be vulnerable, which can be hard, but it is also powerful.
