My joy for art as a child has turned into my passion as an adult. Oil painting brings me such joy and is an expression of who I am. The color of light, the beauty of nature, and the smile of a child are a constant source of inspiration to me.

I love to work in oils because I enjoy the richness and viscosity of the paint—the variations of textures achieved from thick impasto applied with a palette knife to thin delicate layers of color.

I sincerely hope that my paintings bring you as much joy, as I have had in creating them.
