I am a traditionally trained artist with a passion for the creation of art. For me it's all about the process of making art. Landscapes and Plein Air have been my passion, but I also am empowered by creating unique and inspiring pieces. My love for art began at a very young age and has grown into a lifelong pursuit. I am not a business-focused artist, I am a process-focused artist. My reality is that the product is what is left over when I'm done with the process of a painting or making a piece of art. The product does pay the bills, but I live to create, so it's all about process for me. I'm at a point in my life and career where I'm committed to utilizing my Master-Art skills & experience to paying it forward. I find joy in mentoring other artists who are new or late coming to their creative life. I enjoy sharing the skills and processes and knowledge I've accumulated over my career. I also enjoy empowering individuals who think they know nothing about art to take back their power and realize that viewing and enjoying is half of the creative process.
