“The creative process for me is varied and yet finite. I have my boards, my paint and my solitude which stimulates me. Painting is a private, intimate and passionate obsession. I feel blessed to have this time to create a piece of art that someone else can enjoy. The mind is not always at peace and the body is not always at rest and yet when I am painting the soul wills itself to transcend. To put shape and form to sunshine, flowers and trees with liquid color and bristle. What a magnificent release from the tides of time where the mind reassigns thoughts and creativity emerges. Everything that is gathered from years of effort and result, some good and some not so good, is crucial to the process of creation. The rhythm of rising and falling are essential to the flow of my art. How will this piece look, the next…; a question always asked and usually answered. I am not the one to judge, though, the universe will. Why do I paint? This question can only be answered with ‘I just know that I have to’. We all have out work and we all have our play. My inner strength and vision comes from having both simultaneously. ”
