Art is a valuable healing experience, both in
the creating and the viewing. The silent
connection made between the artist and viewer
speaks a language that often soothes and
quiets the spirit. I am intrigued by this
language of art and the artist's ability to
connect with the observer, communicating a
vision, thought, or feeling through line,
composition, mood, or color. My subjects for
paintings are inspirations from my immediate
world and are my opportunities to find beauty
in the ordinary, everyday moments. My goal in art is to find a simple way to express what I have discovered.
