ARTIST STATEMENT

I am a compulsive artist...my paint brush is a broom for my brain and the utensil

that feeds my soul. I paint everyday because

I HAVE TO! 


An untrained figurative expressionist, I

emote on any available surface including

paper, canvas, wood, glass , and even

recycled doors and windows.  My work is

raw and unpremeditated; exuberance often

colliding with angst.


My muses include my cats , the friendly

ghosts of my mother and grandmother...

even my demons!


Love of color and humor are the driving

forces behind my art.  Quirky characters that

have taken up residence in my subconscious

find their way out thru my work.

I love experimenting with new techniques

and surfaces to paint on. My art is constantly

evolving...
