“I continue to create people in my art because I cannot figure them out in real life. My works contain themes, emotions, and conundrums that I encounter in daily life- in family, friends, books or current events. Picasso once said, “to draw you have to close your eyes and sing”. For me, this is true. My formal education is in music, but the loss of a loved sister prompted a change in my instrument… to pencil and brush. The striving for harmony, an unfettered feeling of freedom, and the honoring of form and balance continues in my mind and on the canvas.”
