Artist Statement: My art, both Photographic and Oil on Canvas, helps us focus inwardly. An individual soul is often uncharted territory. In response, each piece of my work tells its own story, which is also our story. I have a life long love affair with people. I find them amazing and endlessly beautiful. My art stems from that love and focuses on unity and the connections we all share. It speaks of our lives in color, tone, and detail. It is my hope that it helps lead us to the hidden places within; those quiet places where our own beauty lives.
