Artist Statement: I love to tell stories about what is happening now in my life and in my visual field. Memories of growing up in Warren, Pennsylvania and my trips to Mexico have influenced my art. There is nothing more relaxing and therapeutic than sitting down in front of a blank piece of paper and creating a painting. I am so grateful for this chance in my life to express these feelings with color and imagination. I am a joyful painter.
