It is of utmost importance to me, at this stage of my life, to fulfill a long-term desire to be an artist after years of setting aside that goal to rear a family – an awesome task all in itself. Having an interest in art from early childhood, it has become a full time passion to paint, honing skills lying dormant all these years. In constructing art I sense and seek the wonders of color, the impact of shapes and their relationships, the sensitivity of line, the drama of light and shadow. My constant search for the elusive “perfect painting” is never-ending. It is a strange and beguiling mystery, this creative process, leading me to confront the artist within.
