I believe that the magic of the soul and all that we carry inside ourselves can be brushed into a form of vibrancy that can be shared with others.

When I lean into the quiet and allow it to enter my own stillness, I am pulling the hues of the world around me. Every color is at my fingertips and I paint it onto the canvas.

I invite all people to come and soak.

We can soak in the essence of anything…the sunset bending itself backwards over the horizon…the day sneaking up on the dawn.

We can soak in a voice, in a song…a rhythm can pull us in and we can drown in its meter and rhyme. Soaking in the art…in the colored form urges us to look into corners of conversation and pull something out of ourselves…or give something back.

I believe that my work, any artist’s work, is a doorway to adventure…known and unknown. I imprint my imagination onto the canvas and I give it as a gift so that others will journey in the ambiance, spiral into the flow.

There is nothing more fulfilling than dancing in a pot of paint.
