As long as I can remember, I have been expressing myself through art. Some of my earliest memories are making my own greeting cards at the ripe old age of five. To say the least, art is neither my profession or hobby. It is my passion.

Naturally, when it came time to choose a path in college I chose art. I completed my B.F.A in Painting and Printmaking at Virginia Commonwealth University with an emphasis in lithography (a lost art) and printmaking. Always, however, painting remained my primary tool for expression.

The bulk of my work tends to be the still life. I enjoy trying to capture the essence of the glass and reflections without exact replication. My goal is interpretation. Painting, like any art, is about emotion. When you concentrate too much on perfectly recreating your subject you cross that line from artist to craftsperson. I choose to be an artist.

I feel as though my strengths lie in color and composition. I try to apply these skills to every facet of my artistic endeavors which I believe has led to an identifiable style. Whether I’m painting a still life, a landscape or a portrait, I think they all reflect my style and abilities.

As time has passed I have expanded into other art forms, such as jewelry making and photography. I feel that trying these new mediums has expanded my vision and opened my eyes to new ideas as a painter.
