Artist Statement

I have painted for most of my life.   I started to pursue painting seriously many years ago after working in the corporate world and raising my family.  I love to play with colour and texture to  create something beautiful.   What drives me  to paint on a deeper level is the undeniable growth that I experience from the creative process.  Learning to let go, to trust,  to think outside the box, to listen to my intuition and to be more courageous.  I understand the vulnerabilities of intuitive work and the connection with the observer.  This passion leaves me continually learning and growing as an artist.
