Artist Statement

Evoking Emotion Through Nature

My paintings are intentionally created to inspire emotional responses, encouraging viewers to develop a deeper appreciation for the natural world, especially the animals that share our environment. When I reflect on the works I have produced, I am often transported by their impact. It is my hope that these depictions of nature, with animals at the center, will encourage us as humans to care for these creatures and allow them to live in peace. May we find true joy in observing and cherishing our wonderful animals.

The Role of the Artist

Artists have a unique ability to act as advocates for diverse cultures, conveying messages that are critical to our collective understanding. Through creative expression, we can promote peace and foster greater understanding among people. In this way, art serves not only as a reflection of personal experience but also as a powerful tool for social and spiritual engagement and an opportunity to celebrate the beauty of nature.

I hold an MFA fromWashington State University USA, exhibited in Paris France, and have held exhibitions throughout the United States.
