Each painting starts the same way; one selected color on the canvas initiates an idea that evokes the beginning form with its own composition and design.  Teased and stimulated by these developments, I add one color on top of another, layering white pigment in between to create a textured image.  Brushstrokes create both rhythm and movement across the canvas.  In these paintings my aim is to describe life’s emotions and represent nature’s mysteries in a more tangible form.
