I’ve always been drawn to visual art, especially paintings. I enjoy images that depict beauty and story and drama. I never imagined that I would one day be a painter myself. It took me a long time to actually try it. I started painting in 2012, and when I did, it hooked me. The images I choose to paint, cause me to reflect on life, stimulate memories, or evoke an appreciation for the beauty and power of nature. Being surrounded by this imagery, adds a richness to life. It reminds me of where I’ve been and who I am.
