ARTIST STATEMENT

Picture

  Travel, combined with my passion for creating art, expands my vision and  
​  inspires me to paint. Excursions to Japan and France have afforded me the  
  opportunity to immerse myself in foreign cultures. While traveling, I see paintings  
  everywhere! Bubbling over with ideas and images, I return to my studio,
  sketchbook and photos in hand, to recreate the excitement of my adventures on
  paper and canvas.

  A favorite destination is the South Carolina Lowcountry, where I am deeply    
​  connected to Pawleys Island, my refuge for more than forty years. I love the old  
  cottages, each holding treasured stories of families who, for generations, have
  gathered there by the sea.  My time spent on Pawleys Island inspires me to paint
  images of beach houses, curtains blowing in the breeze, people on the beach,
  and children dancing in the waves. Capturing the essence of place, in both
​  expansive and intimate landscapes, is my ultimate goal.
