I'm a self taught artist from a family of generations of artists. Living in colorful Colorado and loving it! Originally from Louisiana and have been fortunate to have lived and traveled to many beautiful places throughout the US and Europe. My signature paintings are my award winning Polish Pottery still life series that I started while living in Germany and when I began to collect Polish Pottery which made a good subject for my still life series. The pottery is so beautiful and makes for a great subject in a still life.

I paint first and foremost for the love of painting, this is my passion. I eat, sleep and dream about what my next painting will be. I feel very energized when I paint and can not put the brush down, I absolutely love that I feel drained and fulfilled after finishing a painting. What a great feeling it is! My energy and ideas of future paintings are boiling over and I will paint them all! I enjoy bright paintings, loads of colors a painting that POPS is what I strive to create.. To me, still life's are NOT boring.. they are much fun! I look forward to trying new challenges with my still lifes. I love still lifes because I can control everything from perspective to composition. I'm painting at a fast pace as I'm trying to capture all I can! I look forward to painting other subjects such as landscapes and abstracts. Whew.. I think I need more hours in the day!

I am internationally collected, my paintings are held in private collections in Germany, England, Canada, Italy, Switzerland, Czech Republic and throughout the U.S.

Enjoy!
