Artist Statement:
​
I am inspired by the world around me: ideas, emotions, nature, and people in particular.  New ideas arise from observing the world and trying to see it in unique ways.  I use a variety of materials to express myself and am always learning and experimenting with new methods and materials.  I particularly like to experiment with textured underpainting which results in looser and more interesting paintings.  My favorite artist's quote is Picasso's..." The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls." To me, art at its best, is an expression of things for which there are no words.

Bio:

I graduated from Penn State University with a BS in Landscape Architecture.  As a freshman at Penn State I studied drawing and photography. Over the last 15 years, I have taken classes at Fleischer, PAFA, Eilandarts Center and Perkins to develop my skills and expose me to new methods and materials.  My artistic focus ramps up in the winter months because of the nature of my landscape design work.  I am enjoying the support and camaraderie of the artistic community in Camden County.
