Throughout elementary school I would spend my summers sitting outside my art classroom painting. I always loved it but didn't realize until recently how much I actually needed to paint. For years, I was content painting the walls of my house but recently something has drawn me back to painting on canvas. I have grown to realize that I needed to do something more creative and something I was passionate about. Painting allows me to express myself, while finding peace and tranquility in an otherwise hectic life, which includes raising three sons. As an artist, I like to incorporate light, color and motion into my paintings to create an emotional feeling and connection to everyday life. I am influenced by the chaos of life's daily activities as well as the need to escape from them every once in awhile.
