ARTIST STATEMENT
These paintings are crafted over many years; layers and layers of paint are added so that the works change with the light. Intended to uplift the viewer, and be good company- a reminder and celebration of the many positive changes to come. My work celebrates the beauty of life that we see and craft despite challenges.
