Artist’s Statement: “It is my belief that we can all learn to paint, but it is in the silent, beautiful, unexplored recesses of our heart and soul where the true masterpiece is born. Exploring the images of that place, and bringing them into the world for you to experience, is my goal. Showing you how to find art within yourself, is my vocation.”
