My artwork comes from my life experiences, leisure travels overseas, domestic trips and things you see every day. I am inspired by colorful vistas, scenic landscapes and over natural beauty filled with color. To me, paintings are portals, filled with ideas and emotions. Art is like breathing-it is an integral part of my everyday life. I feel a strong connection with my artwork. Every piece in my portfolio is one I have sat in front of, marveled at and savored. Everyday brings another opportunity to explore and create.
