My Art / Artist Statement

I am an artist because I need to express. I have a vision and I am always approaching the true expression of that vision but I am entirely unsure if I ever achieve it. So I keep going.  I want to join in the communal creative spirit of all beings, nurture imagination and promote a life style that that is committed to curiosity and wonder.

My Craft / Process

I like a direct approach to creativity. My process is to be present and seek the essential nature of a subject. I express the energy of the moment. I paint in the flow, staying open to subtle messages from my inner spirit and the greater cosmos.

My Life / Bio

I grew up in Maine and Massachusetts. I moved to Minneapolis when I came of age which is where I now live. I went to art school, studied photography, graduated and started painting. Doing live painting performance executing expressive figures in minutes was my forte in the early stages of my career. Now, 2024, I paint figures, animals, landscapes and geometric abstractions using acrylics, oil, wax, and casein. I am obsessed with color and am constantly learning more about pigments, paint and color strategies.
