Artist Statment
I'm passionate about the idea of creating something from scratch. Using raw materials such as paint, fabric, clay, paper, food ect, and turning those materials into something beautiful functional, or even playful.
I have always been acutly observant of the world around me, espesially nature. As a child I would escape into the woods behind my house and examine everything. I still love to do that!
As a artist I get to capture the world as I see it. My work continues to be a journey of letting myself go and letting to divine flow thru my brush to capture the subject of my work.
I have been given a gift and feel priveleged everyday to paint the experiences I encounter in life, as a artist, mother, explorer, and woman.
I hope you will take time to ponder and take pleasure in the landscapes, still lives, and murals in my porfolio and gallery pages.
I founded my buisness Mural Inspirations because of my passion to create. I put the word inspiration in the title of my buisness because creating paintings or murals is truly inspiring to me and I hope for those who view my work. I also want to promote other artists and to promote art in general in my community.
I learned how to create from my Mom. She is definitaly a do it yourselfer. I grew up watching her tackle all sorts of creative projects. She is a self tought artist from a little town in Wisconson. She has been painting for 50yrs and still going strong. She continues to sell her work all over the country and in our local community. She is definitaly an inspiration and so is her work.
I will continue to paint and create as long as I can too. I hope as long as my Mom.
