ARTIST STATEMENT:
I discovered my love of painting while in kindergarten standing in front of an easel with a huge piece of paper. When I dipped my brush into one of the many pots of color and made marks on the paper I was totally entralled. Always encouraged by my family and paternal grandfather (an architect), I continued to pursue painting from grade school through college. After raising a family, I am now able to devote more time to my passion.
Early in my career, I used oils then switched to acrylics because I could paint so quickly. In the last two years I returned to oils to stay. Nothing can rival their richness and luminosity. My paintings are my response to capturing the beautiful, golden light of California as it falls on the land and sea. I never cease to be inspired by the way it pours over the hills, through the trees and how it plays on the water. My style can best be described as impressionistic, using glowing color a variety of brushstrokes. I strive to continue to evolve in painting to communicate and capture the essence of a time and place.
