Artist Statement

I’m interested in creating beauty with soul. Whatever style I’m painting, my goal is to touch another’s inner being with my art. 

A spiritual theme or religious presence has appeared in my art thoughout my career. The gold leaf has been in my work from the beginning, first in my Byzantine icons and has been carried into my abstracts.

Working with textures and laying while creating a painting  is fascinating part of my spiritual discovery. I’m always joyful when my work speaks to another as part of their spiritual journey.
