ARTIST’S
STATEMENT
"I do not remember a time that I was
not making art. It Is as necessary to me as breathing or eating. I spent my child
hood drawing pictures that told stories and I am still letting my art tell the story. The
subject matter I choose usually has a touch of nostalgia and Is something close to my heart I have
worked In several medias over the years and am now using watercolor, acrylic and other water related
tools."
