Artist's Statement

Art became a part of my life in 1984 when I was diagnosed with Type I diabetes at age 30. My doctor recommended that I find less-stressful work, so I picked up a pencil and started to draw. Soon, drawing turned into painting and I realized that God had a plan for me. Being self-taught, I never thought that I had a chance at a professional career, but where God led, I followed.

I work in oil, watercolor, Prismacolor, and acrylic as well as clay. Drawing has always been my passion and pastels my medium of choice.

My work now focuses mainly on wildlife and portraiture. Eyes are the window to the soul, and by painting potraits and nature, I hope to give you a glance into my soul and how God has blessed me. May you all open your hearts and minds, discover your gifts, and find the blessings that await you!
