Artist Statement

“I used to think that I had no deep, introspective rationale as to what I painted. It seemed in the effort to paint, something was ‘passing me by’ … as it may be for so many of us? Several years ago, I took up running for exercise to help motivate me physically. But as I run, more and more, I am seeing things, that are right in front of me. I am noticing the incredible details in every day occurrences; constantly… flowers dancing or the mid day sky - in Technicolor. I’ve found motivation in a simple celebration of nature. It is all around me; in that life seems to deals us challenges, it is in nature that I am finding my inspiration, my reprieve…”
