My paintings are done on canvas with oil pastels. The forms that emerge are organic and fluid. Over time, I layer colors of oil pastel, playing with the results, sometimes quickly and at other times painstakingly. I often work from nature but always with emotion, letting the creative process intertwine with knowledge, often spontaneously producing the finished piece. The final work is never preconceived. Creating a piece of art brings me an indescribable feeling of peace and joy. My artwork is always an intricate and personal statement.
