It gives me joy to create art tha is enjoyed by others and at the same time lets me continue to grow and expand and evolve.  I want my paintings to express that joy I have with the act of putting paint from brush to canvas.  I visit gardens and conservatories and take many photos to use as references for my paintings.  I look for shapes, both positive and negative, when deciding on what to paint.  Other subject matter being explored are still life with fruit and pottery and landscapes with buildings along with some collage work.  My studio is in my home in Herndon, Virginia, and I am an Associate Member of the Lorton Workhouse and a member of Gallery West, a co-op gallery in Old Town Alexandria.
