Most of my time I spend trying to create (or find) order, connection or purpose in my surroundings. It should be no surprise to me that in my paintings the same thing happens. For me, art is a visual expression of an emotional connection to something, whether it is a landscape, a single flower, or a thought. Every piece tells a story and it’s wonderful if my story touches the soul of the viewer too.

Flagstaff Soloist

We went to NAU in Flagstaff to attend a choir concert and I also hoped to see the changing autumn colors. The red maple in the foreground and the various trees surrounding it reminded me of the NAU choir. The maple had just a little more to show.

Were I called on to define very briefly the term art, I should call it "the reproduction of what the senses perceive in nature through the veil of the soul." Edgar Allen Poe
