Statement and Bio

Artist Statement 

​

   My artwork is a testament to the old saying "Stop and Smell the Roses".  I believe that taking the time to appreciate the fleeting beauty of the moment, as evidenced by beautiful but temporary blooms, is a way to find happiness in the everyday.    I look forward to continuing to develop my techniques and subject matter in the years to come.
