Joy, freedom, contentment, exploration, openness, self-expression, excitement, completion, thankfulness, and giving are a few of the words that describe my feelings and purpose of creating art. Art goes beyond a blank piece of paper and graphite. Happiness starts when the idea and desire to create something new becomes an urge that pushes the creativity. Then the chalk dances on the paper.

 

People and animals intrigue my heart. Capturing the heart of the subjects starts with the look in their eyes. The eyes or expressions usually become the focal point of my work. I also enjoy the numerous variations of color, lines, and contrast in flowers. The challenge is to layer the medium to a level that it touches the heart of the viewer.

 

It would be an honor and a pleasure to create a commission piece for you.
