"The painting arrived. I am in awe. Thank you for sharing your gift, emotions and artistry!! I am overwhelmed with joy!!" ~ Judy Bitterli
I once read that artists fall into two camps, those that act as mirrors and those that act as windows (John Szarkowski, Mirrors and Windows : American Photography since 1960). Am I a mirror reflecting a portrait of the artist who made the work, or a window, through which one might better know the world? I am decidedly a mirror. My work is intuitive, it is a striving to find the essence, to say the nonverbal, to plumb myself. My works are excavations of my being. As you view them, it is my hope that you find a powerful connection to your own truth.
Having browsed my work, you may be curious to know my personal story. I was not always an artist. In fact, my journey to becoming the artist I am today was a long, and sometimes painful one. You can read about the arc of my life here. You can learn more about the twists and turns of my creative journey here.
