I love art. It is everywhere in the world around us – in the colours of a sunset, in the sparkle of a child's smile, in the light dancing through the trees. I want to absorb it all, to capture the wonders I see with my own hand. 

Art is communication. Through it, we learn to listen, to express our emotions and innermost thoughts to the world, to ourselves, and spiritually, to God.

I believe God gives us the opportunity to live in conversation with Him. My art is the medium through which I am able to communicate and deepen my faith. So when I paint, I see it as part of my conversation with God. I create art as an expression of my faith, by capturing the wonders of the world around me I hope to "create a window to God." (quote by Madeleine L’Engle)

I have been painting and drawing with various mediums for the past 40 years. My primary mediums are watercolour and Acrylic. I also make and paint on my own handmade paper with a variety of media. Most of the subjects I paint are found in nature, from towering mountains to the intricate details of a flower field. Most recently, I have found joy in exploring plein air, taking on the challenge of illustrating life as I see it.
