Artist quote "I am grateful to have the desire to make art. Primarily I want to enjoy the process - exploring my environment in every season, the enhanced observation and engaging with fellow artists and art lovers. My interests and inspirations are many but the theme that runs through all my work is design and color. I strive to make sensitive but dynamic impressionistic paintings. For me painting is totally engrossing and stimulating."
