Artist bio:
As an artist, my intention is to surprise people with multi-textured, multi-layered paintings, and photographs. The layers in my artwork reflect the layers of life— the complexities, textures, and surprises of my life experiences. When I put my brush or palette knife on the canvas, or pick up my old Nikkormat camera, these “tools” become an extension of me and a way to discover the knowing place within me — my inner life. Passion for creating my art centers me and makes me feel alive. As an intrepid traveler and the Host of Let’s Travel Radio, I am also inspired by the many places I have visited and love worldwide. For me, the meaning of life is to be engaged, and my art is a way to do that…to communicate with people, to touch them and to stimulate them…so they can discover their own sensibilities and experiences through my works of art. Thus, together, we can create Collaborative Artistic Adventures. My work is in many private collections.
