Painting is my most authentic voice. I paint because I love sharing the gamut of human emotions, whether happy, sad or joyous.

Portraits are my favorite! I paint self portraits and portraits of friends and family.
Where do you find inspiration?My intuition inspires and guides me from start to finish. I’ve learned to trust my inner voice and follow through the creative process. Painting is like breathing and I engage creating daily.
What would you do with $25,000?I would purchase art supplies and studio furniture. I would have several large canvases made (8’x10’ or larger)and paint large. It’s something I have wanted to do for years, but simply couldn’t afford it. When I depict the gamut of human emotions, it’s powerful and should shower the viewer with pure joy.I would buy oil paint, large brushes, canvases and 4 easels.
