My Bio
I am 98% Artist (110% at heart - but bad at math) and 2% human being. I keep working hard in the hopes that one day my art story will be like the great artist fairytale. You know the one - the one about how the poor, struggling artist rocking on the edge of insanity is toiling away in her studio day after day, when one day a handsome person comes to see her work, and decides that she should be rescued. From that day on they pay her to paint, pimp out her work and buy her beer. Everyone lives happily ever after.
That...would be cool.
Until then...I'll just keep trying to put square pegs in round holes.

A Word on Painting

It is an odd feeling I get when I finish a painting (or at least make myself stop working on a painting). I'm not sure they are ever really finished…just complete enough to allow me to want to go on to the next canvas. I still go through and add strokes or adjust lines on 'finished' paintings that live in my studio, even though they have been 'done' for quite some time.
When I finish a painting, especially one I have worked on for a long while, it is a mix of feelings actually; but I think more of a sadness that the conversation and dance with the painting/canvas has come to an end, and now I have to let it be on its own out in the worl

It is funny how life will lift you up on its wings allowing you to soar to new heights one day, but then leave you mid-air to fall, crash and wait to die. Some people are lucky. They endure happiness and their climb from a fall is much shorter. Actually, happy people piss me off. This occasional climb is where my art becomes a necessary companion for me.
I utilize my art as a distraction, to allow myself to feel sorrow, to heal, to live, breathe, be angry or happy, and to sometimes change my perspective. Art takes me on a journey and sometimes it helps me to find the proverbial ladder back up from the depths of a dark place in my mind and a

Poetry Pants...a self portrait?
0 min read
As I finished my painting Poetry Pants, which was based on a poem I had written, I realized that this peice touched me more than I had anticipated. So that prompted me to go back and spend some time with the poem and meditate on the question which was posed to me by a viewer - Was Poetry Pants a self portrait? After I immediately jumped to the response that really all my art in some way or another is a self-portrait...I took pause. I paused to contemplate a deeper meaning...and of all my work, I have to say that yes, Poetry Pants is definitely a self-portrait. A snapshot of myself existing in a dark place, but recognizing that I can emerge -
