Artist's Statement
My first memories of art go back to when I was about four years old. I had discovered a ballpoint pen and used it to "decorate" my dolls with lines and squiggles of dark blue. The idea of self-expression through art has always been a part of my life. While I experiment with most media, I primarily consider myself a painter. In using acrylic paints and mixed media, I can achieve many layers and luscious textures in my work. When I work, I am led by something deep inside of me. Call it the voice of God, spiritual inspiration or simply the subconscious.
