My artwork is my response to the world around me and my participation in the world. Art speaks to me and it is how I connect. In the past, I have painted families and homes and now I am more interested in communities and events. Outdoor plays and concerts are a coming together of people that can be transformative or even magical and I want to join in on the magic.
