I’m a late bloomer who didn’t start painting until I was over 50. For as long as I can remember, nature has been my sanctuary; I feel that beauty and bliss are everywhere for the noticing. More than shape and color, my art is about the peace that whispers from the ripples of a pond or the joy that beams from a silver-edged cloud . It's about the thrill and wonder of seeing living treasures quietly drifting beneath ocean waves. My aspiration is to bring an echo of those messages indoors through the medium of paint.
