Artist’s Statement: Artistic expression has been present throughout my life. My first creative passion was photography and my creative growth has evolved with the milestones of my life and the explorations of new mediums. Before my formal education in fine art I always found my creative outlets in various areas of my life such as gardening, landscaping, interior design or my children’s costumes. While I enjoy all forms of artistic expression I am drawn to painting the most. I prefer to paint primarily with oils. Painting is a release of my emotions, passions, and the nocturnal landscape of my dreams. It allows me to release my visions with luminosity and a bold bounty of color. I paint with a poetic surrealism as that is how I envision the subjects of my work.
