Artist Statement

    In all my art pieces, I try to present different relaxing views,  in my landscape paintings I add a touch of abstract design in the compositions for a more interesting view.

   Spending my childhood in Vernon, was wonderful fun and an adventure!.  I treasure some of these memories through my childrens artwork, by adding fun, light hearted , themes and colors, for example the art, Rain Puddle, is about a small boy outside in the rain , playing in a puddle with his boat.

  When creating my artwork I try to encompass  interesting design themes, and compositions without going too over the top in designing ,  an example is the , Sunflower Art painting, it is slightly abstract but you as a viewer know that the art painting is sunflowers. I do also enjoy over the top abstract art work and will be adding some in the future on this website,

  As a trained artist, I love to add a touch of imagination to my designs, with comforting colors and unique combinations of different subjects,  one of my favorite quotes is , " Logics will get you from A to B, imagination will take you everywhere" , Albert Einstein.
