I have been drawn to art since I received my first big box of crayolas as a child. An undying curiosity for learning new technique and craft has led me to excell in a number of media which I employ at will to express my ideas and fancies.  Constantly amazed by nature's colors, I love to play and push the colors I see around me. The changes that occur with the seasons of the year and the cycles that bring those seasons round and round serve as inspiration for my art. My subject matter reflects my interests: gardens, nature, home life...

I am motivated to paint by the nuances in the great outdoors, whether it is a garden planted by humans, or by nature herself.  And by the unknown planters- the faeries, goddesses, spirits, - in other words the mystery and myth that is for me also a part of nature and our world.  Who can say faeries and dragons are not as real as chipmunks and fish - we all have a picture in our mind of what a dragon is,  for me that makes them as real as any other inhabitant of our world.
