 Dear
Fellow Art Lovers ~ As a child, my pencil and
sketchbook were my constant companions. I grew up drawing
animals ~mostly horses. Then art was put aside as I married,
had two children, raised Arabian horses and worked in
the family-owned construction business.
A family tragedy and chronic illness left me bereft
and disinterested in life. But at some point years later
the emotional and physical pain began to lift. Once again
I became aware of my treasures: my husband and daughter,
my friends, my animals, and the incredible beauty of
the world in which I lived. I picked up my paint brush… and
began to see the world with new eyes.
I have discovered that I love deep, rich colors. That
I must find the spirit of each subject I paint. I also
know that people and animals are my favorites and that
my greatest joy is watching their souls emerge through
the window of their eyes.
My wish is that my paintings express the
gratitude I have for life… that somehow you can
hear my joy speaking through these lovingly rendered
images. And may it remind you of the incredible world
you inhabit!
