Colorful, vibrant, thought provoking, spontaneous; these are just a few words that describe my work.  I believe everyone should have original art in their homes and my mission is to enhance people's lives with my art, which is why I create fine and usable art for your enjoyment. The process of making this art starts out simply; I use textural elements to create the texture for the under paintings, then spray on liquid watercolors; while the paint is drying, I manipulate the paint by moving it, brushing it and adding more water where necessary.  Then the creativity takes over; amending the painting to get the image I want for the final result.  About the process of creating, “I make art because to do otherwise would be impossible.  I continually see line and design in everyday images.  Expressing those visual images onto paper is so exciting and fun.”  The meaning of my work is simply self-expression and creativity.  When I paint, I escape into the process of creating.  It’s such a joy to put onto paper what is inside me.  I am primarily a visual person, and my inspiration comes from nature and things I see every day; I am blessed to be able to interpret those everyday images onto paper via my own expression.  This expression vehicle allowed me to overcome many obstacles in my life; I hope viewing my art will do the same for you. I attended Marylhurst University, continuing my studies towards a BFA, and continued learning through life, by taking workshops from renowned artists and the Watercolor Society of Oregon, of which I am a lifelong member.
