Like so many creatives and makers I know and love, I’m an artist because I don’t have a choice. My paintings are there, waiting for me, floating at the edges of everything I hear, I see, I sense, and I dream. I listen in color. I’m often caught staring because I get distracted by the shape of a cupids bow or the shadows dancing across a person’s face. And yea, that could be me along the side of the road because a cloud is too interesting to pass by.
You might notice that I tend to work with the color blue. Blue is the color of life and hope. Every hue and shade of blue inspires me. I’m equally taken with the properties of water and sky that make those colors possible.
What excites me the most though is the wavy wonderful, sometimes obscured edges between earth, water and sky. I think about blurred lines and shifting edges - a lot. That work and the ongoing exploration of them is what you’ll find here.
My mantra. As an artist - remember that no one will ever be able to put together exactly those colors or make that same stroke or line but you! It’s kind of a miracle.
It’s humbling. It’s my gift to the world to be able
to share it.
