Why I Paint

Twenty years ago, I went through a life-changing event & wanted to figure out what was important to me going forward. My good friend encouraged me to renew my long-buried interest in painting. Her advice was to not worry about the end-product, but to enjoy the journey & the process. This was some of the best advice I’ve ever received. I explore portrait, landscape and abstract painting with the goal of bringing the joy of life to my collectors.

I have painted many portraits for private collectors. I am open to accepting future commissions; please contact me.
