Artist Statement Artist Statement I'm in my happy place when surrounded by creative people, bright colors, and beautiful things to look at with a paintbrush in my hand. I've always had a curiosity for the world around me. I'm especially drawn to the color and details of flowers. I'm amazed at how perfect God has created them and how their design is reflected in the man-made world in shapes, color, and texture. It's my desire to bring this beauty to my collectors through my use of vivid color for them to experience the same joy I feel when I'm painting. My surroundings speak to me, Art is my voice, and you are the listener. When I paint, I hope my art speaks to you in the way the world speaks to me.
