“I have been inspired to create art my entire life. I simply love nature, especially being on the ocean. The light, movement, scents and moods vary continually, and the inspiration to paint what I see and feel is exhilarating. Kayaking the California coast, I photograph what captivates me, for future reference when I return to my studio. Nothing nurtures or humbles my spirit so much as the sea. I hope to share my love of nature with others through my work.”
