ARTIST STATEMENT:
\nCreating art brings me joy! Through it I remember that there is beauty in our world\, that life is worth living\, and peace can be found in chaos. I love trying all techniques and mediums. I do seem to always gravitate ba ck to watercolor and colored pencil. The art I create expresses my feeling s and helps me capture special moments from my life\, like a beautiful sun set or a walk with my grandson.
