Artist Statement

“Beauty is food for the soul.” Author unknown

This saying encompasses the message and spirit of my artwork. I am inspired by beauty, I notice it in nature, in people, and in objects; I strive to surround myself with it. I believe that to notice beauty in the everyday, in seemingly ordinary things, is a gift. My desire is to inspire and share this gift with others. It is a commitment to practice beauty, just like anything of true value in this life; so I believe with all my heart that it's time well spent. The soul does, indeed, need to be fed, so my hope is that we may learn to slow down, look up, and notice the message that beauty would bring us.
