Fortunate, unique and evolving were my choices when asked to describe my life in three words. Interestingly I can also describe my art with these three words. I feel very fortunate to have had a mother who fostered my artistic nature and though I remain a self taught artist - I believe that without her support my art would not be where it is today.

I think of my art as unique, in that, I like capturing snapshots of nature and the world around us, bringing it to life on paper and having my viewer connect with the piece, and possibly experience what I have in creating the piece.

I feel as though my art is ever evolving, as I am beginning to experiment with different shapes and dimensions of pieces. I am even venturing into new subject matters and choice of media. Though I love the precision one can achieve with colored pencils, I have a burning desire to explore more with oils and acylics.

Aside from art, my career in medicine have allowed me a deeper appreciation for life and the world around me. For each person that my pieces bring some level of joy or healing to makes me feel that I am one step closer in fully realizing the physician-artist in me.

It is my hope that my pieces evoke some emotion in you or at least bring a smile to your being.
