artist statement

THIS COLLECTION STARTED AS A CHALLENGE I MADE FOR MYSELF AFTER THE SUDDEN PASSING OF MY (STEP)MOM. IT BECAME A THERAPEUTIC ACT AND REKINDLED A PASSION I LOST IN COLLEGE. EACH PIECE TOOK ON A LIFE OF THEIR OWN, TELLING THEIR OWN STORIES. EACH PAINTING BROUGHT OUT A PEACE I HADN'T FELT IN A LONG TIME. MY HOPE IS THEY BRING PEACE TO YOU AS WELL.
