When words do not come easily to me, painting helps to process life’s events. The paint and the canvas become my voice, allowing me to share an event in time that has captured my soul and left a mark in my memory; some joyous, some painful, always different. As I create, I experience a connection between my hands in the paint and my emotions that releases an unpredictable response on the canvas. This visual dialog with the viewer is an ever evolving process.
