Ideas come at the strangest moments…in the middle of the night, while swimming laps, playing with my dogs or even when I’m working on another painting. I love all the possibilities that exist when I pull out a blank canvas and paint. Creativity has always played a crucial role in my life, mostly as time to experiment without expectations. It wasn't until I left a career in law enforcement, that I had time to dive deeper into something I've always loved. As my joy of playing with paint started translating on canvas, the doors opened and here I am, years later, a working artist. At a time when the world seems to be divided, I hope to capture something that will make you smile, or laugh…even if it means you walk away shaking your head wondering what I was thinking. We have way more in common that we may realize and if laughing connects us, it's a great start. I love being an artist!
