I like to think that a part of me is in my paintings. I paint to heal myself and to share the beauty of every day things and people around us.

It’s been a transformative process, spiritually and artistically.

My painting are usually in oil or watercolor, but I do experiment quite a bit. You may find a pastel or charcoal drawing here or there.

We give great messages to you and you see the beauty all around in the flowers and hummingbirds and mountains and sunrises and sunsets. Paint these. Think of me and our love.
