When I began painting 15 years ago, with support and encouragement from a family member, I had no idea that it would evolve into a spiritual journey. What started as a hobby has become a calling—it's my purpose in life.

​

Before I sketch or paint, I pray. For me, art is the means by which I reach the spiritual; creating art takes me to another level. The need to create is a gift that has been instilled in me.

​

My work is a combination of realism and abstract combined with a elegance and class to convey the beauty of God's creation and gifts. My passion for life is captured in my paintings.

​

Since the time I began painting, I have been privileged and blessed to share my work in local and national arenas. But perhaps the greatest blessing has been to engage in the creative process, a process which has put me in touch with my own soul, its connection to that of other human beings, and, ultimately, with God.

​

My paintings are intended to "breathe life into the soul". The goal is to empower the 

viewer with a visual insight into the human spirit that lives within all of us. 

In my work I use sculptured figures to spotlight an inspiring scene that makes the onlooker appreciate life as a gift. In addition, I use simple but elegant lines, silhouettes, and elongated figures on canvas. I work in mixed-medium, including clay and acrylics, and let my soul convey its impressions through my brush onto the waiting canvas.
