Art, for me, is a safe place. A place where I find freedom to take a deep breath and create whatever I want. My relationship with art is truly between me, the paint, the tools, the experience of applying the paint to a canvas surface and where my painting may go.  When I discover the emotional connection to what it is I am painting, it allows me to find the freedom I am looking for. 

Creating art, especially painting, is something that has always been part of my life and soul knowing that it is something I just have to do. As I become more aware of my true self and gain more life experiences,  really makes me cherish my relationship with the painting process and focus on my need to paint.  It’s funny but sometimes I find myself loving and hating this process at the same time.

The subjects and images I paint constantly change and evolve as I develop as an artist. I choose to start a painting by seeking a connection to whatever first drew me in closer to that experience. It could be funny or sad or just because…  This then leads me into my place of freedom by allowing me to develop a connection to the experience I found in the first place.
