Each piece is a journey. It begins when something catches my attention – an emotion, a color, or a vague idea. Brush strokes propel me forward and reveal unexpected terrain. Like a good hike, each work has difficult spots where I feel challenged and unsure. At these times it is tempting to stop, give up, turn back. However, persistence pays off as the rough spots lead to small surprises that culminate in the breathtaking experience that is creation. Inspiration comes from everywhere – nature, a conversation, a fleeting thought, color, or emotion. Each painting is an invitation for others to join the endless process of discovery that is intuitive creativity.
