My Art / My Self - As an only child I was sent to do "My Art" since I could walk. "My Art" became my baby sitter, best friend, teacher, entertainer and a therapeutic comfort. "My Art" helped support me and my family. The periods of my paintings walk in step beside the stages of my personal development.
My goals differ with each work. I paint from my own emotions and wish to move the viewer the same way. Sometimes a painting tells a story, or makes the viewer happy or whimsical, at other times sad or nostalgic. Sometimes I want the viewer to think and share a message. At other times I want the eye to just relax and enjoy a journey through color and design.
Native American, spiritual pieces, the myths and legends series and symbolic surrealism are carefully thought out and researched. Works in floral, fantasy, wildlife and other natural wonders are usually painted for the pure joy and pleasure of the subjects themselves.
My paintings continue to allow me to express myself and connect with those outside of "self." I have evolved into the woman, artist, and teacher I am today because of "My Art." I continue to grow.
