Why I Paint
My Inspiration
My Materials
I enjoy painting because it allows me to express not exactly what I see, but what I think and feel about what I see. I can choose to capture a flowing cascade of calla lilies, the balancing act of scissors, the heat of jalapeño peppers, or the dance-like undulations of an unfurling dahlia.

My Materials
I create my works using fine, high quality materials. The paper is 100% cotton, most often from Arches. My paints are all professional grade, from either Winsor & Newton, DaVinci, Holbein, or Daniel Smith. All of my works are original.

My Inspiration
Most of my works are based upon my local surroundings. I am inspired by intriguing shapes, contrasts, implied motion, light interacting with an object a certain way, a beautiful combination of colors, or a particular curve to a line.
