“I painted and played till 14
Life was gold, green, and glorious
That was home

Picking up brushes 1994
Home again”

As in the statement from my 2006 Home Series exhibit, I am happiest and most at home when I paint. I paint in oil, for I love the physical sensation of applying oil paints.  Though most of my works are abstracts, I also enjoy doing faces.

My paintings are my journals.  I paint to capture an event, a moment, an emotion, a feeling, a mood, a person.   I hope to dig deeper and use the versatility of oils to push harder in each painting without losing its honesty and freshness.
