Artist’s Statement: Making Art is how I play. The best part of being an artist is knowing your best friend is always with you. My goal is to create something that I like from what I see around me every day. Painting en plein air, a still life an animal or structure. The real job of the artist is not to see for themselves but they must make others participate. The Art I find myself enjoying is painting in watercolor and acrylics, creating rya rugs, and turning found objects into 3D Art forms.
