Book Details

“I found I could say things with colors and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way - things I had no words for.” (Georgia O’Keeffe) When I am painting time stands still and a tranquil fascination envelops my mind. Painting is being in the moment and creating history at the same time. My thoughts on painting are that one should paint what they love to paint without rules and boundaries. The creative process is a never ending source of self expression and happiness. I have worked in many mediums but my favorite is oil painting. I have no favorite subject, I paint whatever moves me. I have been in multiple National and International competitions, paint outs, online and storefront galleries, publications, and books on art. One day I plan to set the Art World on fire!
