Since leaving my full-time job in 1991, painting has become a lifelong preoccupation. It is a way of slowing down and seeing what is often overlooked, while inviting others into that way of seeing. I have been fortunate to receive support and encouragement along the way, which made it possible to continue. Over time, painting has given shape, meaning, and purpose to my life.
“I am interested in art as a means of living a life; not as a means of making a living.”
“Painting is easy when you don’t know how, but very difficult when you do.”
“If I could say it with words there would be no reason to paint it.”
