Artist Statement

Creating art makes me happy, it soothes my soul, and quiets my mind. When creating art, any other problems in the world fade away. The biggest problem becomes “what color do I need next” or “what other item do I want to add to this piece, what is it missing?”

My art has been described as abstract, whimsical, intuitive, colorful and bold. I find joy in using many different mediums, and I like adding a bit of texture to my pieces, since life is not 'smooth sailing', there are always bumps in the road.

When asked what inspires me, I find my self answering “Color”. I feel God gave us colors to use, and living in a black & white world, not using them, seems not only boring but unappreciative to the one who created color. When I use several colors, I feel happy. I think it makes God happy too.

I am fortunate to have some of my art displayed for sale at the Artful Journey Gallery in Peoria, Illinois. and I will have an exhibit for the month of July 2025 at the First United Methodist Church in the Foster Gallery. The show will be a duo show with my artist-friend Sharon Somers and we have titled it, “Lead me Lord”.
