Artist Statement: “Since Childhood I have enjoyed working with all mediums,
exploring watercolors, and oil painting for many years where my education
started at the hands of my mother.  Painting has always been my passion,
creating and exploring that which is not easily tangible.  My recent art has been
exploring the simplicity of balance.  It is the simplest kinds of balance that are
often the hardest to attain, and often the most intriguing to me. I strive to paint
the inner pendulum swing. ”
