Thanks for visiting my gallery!
My paintings are expressions of the moment, expanding into forms and ideas as my picture unfolds. I begin working with pastels, creating random colors and patterns. Opening my mind to all possibilities, different images emerge, take shape and suggest outlines and definition.  Dreams, my view of the world, personal experiences and intuitive feelings all seem to find their own place into my pieces.  I love the process and the surprise of letting the paintings evolve organically. 
 I welcome your feedback, and the opportunity to brighten your life with my art.
