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.

My Very Own Palo Verde

In the spring and summer, I use to drive around Tucson looking for palo verde in bloom. For my birthday one year, my husband planted one in my front yard for me. Now I can enjoy it from my front window and paint it any time I like.

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
