I paint to find the core connections I feel to my environment and the people who challenge and inspire me. I paint to find and celebrate the beauty and essence of life, no matter how joyful or difficult the subject.

Open Studio
Hosted by Gale Whitman Studio
Being human is complex: joyful, disappointing, exciting, lonely, hopeful, confusing. I believe that creating and sharing my heartfelt artwork can help connect people, encouraging them and allowing them to feel understood. I draw inspiration from nature and the resilient human spirit, often using saturated colors in engaging combinations to attract the eye of my viewers and to affirm their inner beings.
