As an artist I strive to paint what inspires my heart and soul. I love the outdoors and water whether it be seas, oceans, lakes, rivers, creeks, I am immediately inspired to capture the moment on canvas. I find painting in plein air is quite a challenge yet it is so invigorating to be immersed in nature while creating from within. You can see, feel, hear, touch, smell, unlike working in the studio. My goal is to evoke emotions to the viewer and touch their inner spirit every time they look at my artistic works as though it speaks to them on an individual basis. I strive to be a better artist by continually learning and attending various courses and workshops. An investment in my paintings in an investment in the future as my commitment to you is that I will continue to improve and add value to your collection of art. I am passionate about giving back to my community through my God given talent which I am so grateful for and nurture everyday.
