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.

Tucson Pima Arts Council "Open Studio Tour"

Again this year, I will be participating in the Open Studio Tour, November 8 & 9 from noon to 5 p.m. For information about the tour, go to www.tucsonpimaartscouncil.org/ost/

Recently I have been spending most of my time at the grade school and creating or dreaming lesson plans for the classes. The students are inspiring me to attempt things that I haven't done in awhile and I am learning or relearning as I work with them. They remind me of all the reasons that I love to paint...to remember, to inspire, to dream, to think, to focus, to play.

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
