Oil Paintings
Most of my latest artworks are abstract landscapes.
Nature has always inspired me with her complex
organic forms. To start a new painting, I envision the
colors and general composition, then use multiple
layers of luscious oil paint mixtures to portray life
experiences. Colors and forms are used to express
emotion or to elicit an emotion from the viewer. In this
way, the paintings become “metaphorical landscapes”.
I enjoy the creative process, work intuitively, and find that
the paintings will sometimes go in different directions
than originally planned. My B.A. degree is from the
University of Wisconsin—Green Bay.

“The artist creates something out of nothing! Without the thoughts and feelings of the artist, there
would be no art. It’s their particular creative mind in contemplation that links to intention to give birth
to what we call an artistic creation.” Dr. Wayne Dyer

that our aim is too high and we miss it, but
that it is too low and we reach
