Artist's Statement, Still Life Gallery

  The effects of light and form fascinate me. An observation of an object that is simple in shape and form suddenly becomes dramatic with a sudden shift of light. I enjoy the tranquility of becoming immersed in the moment to paint what I feel. How can something so very still be so full of life?


Change of Heart Series
How deftly the heart changes — an adaptation to events tossed at each of us throughout our lives, becoming a seasonal journey of the heart.

Cautious to new relationships our hearts are often winterized, secretly wearing protection against being hurt. Carefully, as we begin to trust relationships, spring evolves. Gathering warmth, the heart begins to open as if a flower, magically transporting us into summer. Autumn's message of color becomes the final transformation~ a vibrant signal to observe the feelings of those around us. Perhaps unfolding a change of heart.
