about my art

Inspiration

A self-taught artist who paints for pure pleasure. Enjoys sharing ideas, learning new techniques, trying out new media. Continues to learn and develop skills and ideas by reviewing the work of others, studying the masters, YouTube videos, visiting art exhibitions and subscribing to excellent art magazines. 

  

Art must have movement, energy, depict a mood, or tell a story, provide a connection. Artists who recreate photographic representations are admirable for their skills and patience in detailing every hair. Unless this representation adds something, what is the point? 


Art is a sanctum, an escape. Provides an environment where there is no structure, timetable, social media, pressure, intellectual thought .  JUST BEING.  


“It is important to express oneself...provided the feelings are real and are taken from your own experience.”  Berthe Morisot
