About the Artist
“I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.'
Alice Walker , The Color Purple
This quote from Alice Walker is a reminder to open our eyes and see the many beautiful wonders in our world that seem to be there just to delight us.
Color! Color is the first thing that I notice about something beautiful. It might be a tiny yellow flower in the field where I walk my dog, Punkin, or a shiny piece of glass on the beach.
For many years in my role as a pastoral minister and counselor I helped people to listen to the deepest longings of their heart. Eventually my heart's journey led me to give up my practice to become a full-time artist. My spiritual imperative now is to be attentive to beauty.
Nature is the portal to my spirituality. The colors and textures of nature delight and inspire me. The practice of painting helps me to respond to the mystery of beauty in our world.
Like visual jazz my painting is intuitive and expressive. I build up layers of paint to form shapes and texture into a composition that sings.
