Artist Statement
As an artist, I live in and around stories. Stories are everywhere. They may be stories about my current involvements, of my family and friends, or my observations of life around me. Along the way, I find some stories develop into amazing surprises.
There are things I learn from accepting commissioned Artwork and/or Illustrations that I would never otherwise discover.
Always, within these stories, I look for the magic, and sometimes the mystery, and sometimes the tragedy. I try to approach each artistic project or painting with an open mind and a curiosity to find that underlying story and illustrate that story.
I also have a fascination with animals, and how they interact with each other and with humans. I am enchanted with the lush southern landscape, and how it holds so much beauty, and also so many secrets.
Using my skills of drawing and painting, I try to explore the wisdom of our religions, and differing cultures.
Life on Earth is an ever unfolding, constantly changing adventure, and I am blessed as an artist to be able to document a tiny piece of it.
