Member Biography

ARTIST STATEMENT

"I want my art to reflect a happy attitude toward life. I like to paint many different subjects and incorporate objects in still life paintings that have a particular meaning to me. My paintng career happened later in life and I cherish the opportunity that nearly didn't happen, and therefore enjoy every minute that I can spend in front of my easel."
