Art is the navigator of my day.  Everything I experience comes through my artist’s eye.  Never do I look at a sunset without noticing the delicate rhythms of  color shifting over the landscape.  Noticing the subtleties of how the color communicates with a gentle mountain stream, versus a delicate desert flower. Reds, yellows, pinks oranges, grays and purples…..never the same symphony.  Always so delicious to my soul.

I became an artist the day I was born.  I believe most of us do, though few follow the calling of the muse.  I would constantly be creating something.  Whether in the kitchen or on a piece of paper.  My family tolerated some of my more bizarre experiments.  Usually involving some intolerable food combination.

I began to get more serious with pursuing art as a career in my mid twenties, after realizing I was not cut out for the nine to five, bell curve work world.  My desire was found in expressing nature on very large canvasses.  I became a muralist for the simple reason of leaving the creation behind me for someone else’s pleasure.  I never feel the desire to own art.  Only to create it.  So murals became the perfect media for me.
