Artist Statement:    

“I love watching a piece come to life by using creative textures, layers, and colors…  it’s ever-changing.  In my art, I use acrylics, watercolors, glazes, brushes, and silicone catalyst wedge tools to create.   I find inspiration in the playful lighting, transparency, and depths of layering.  I’ve always been a creative person, being drawn to the visual aspects of art is captivating.  I can honestly say that the best reward to creating art is seeing a face light up with wonder.   Life is short, keep CREATING!”
