Born and raised in Pennsylvania before relocating to Arkansas, I am a self -taught artist. For the last five years I've painted abstract works of art including nature and motionless objects. Observation taught me what was needed to know about rendering my subjects as I understood them. The elements that visually express my technique are specific objects. They create form and add to the canvas. My belief in God allows me to be creative in bringing forth each piece with beauty. My passion for art is revealed with every stroke of the brush. For I know the thoughts and plans I have for you, says the Lord thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Jeremiah 29:11
