Artist Statement:

What started out as a yearning became a passion with acrylic paint and canvas. My inspiration is drawn from the ebb and flow of the ocean, the movement of a breeze through the trees, and the playful antics of the Orcas.  My painting style is intuitive. I let my paint brush ad palette knife glide across the canvas, sometimes adding texture, sometimes just letting of with the flow of the brush. But always finished off with a playful splash of colour.
