When I look at art and it evokes a calling of the spirit, a memory, a recognition, a knowing; THAT is most exciting! My goal in creating art is to call that spirit in myself and then to move others to do the same. I work in 2 dimensions with oil, acrylic, ink, and pastel mediums. Pastels are the most rewarding due to their immediacy of translation to paper. I am drawn to the human expression of face and form but also find inspiration in natural and architectural landscapes.
