About the Artist:
My heritage in the mountains of Montana has made me very appreciative of the world we live in. "Expressing the Beauty of Creation" is what I strive for in my art.
When a long chronic illness forced me to reexamine my life, I came to a conclusion: for me to be whole I needed to surrender to Jesus and to develop the talents and interests he had given me.
Truly, my art is an extension of God’s grace towards me. I want it in turn to be a gift to you. Your partnership in my art studio allows us together to give physically and spiritually to others.

Artist Statement:
A consistent factor in my work is contrast.
My paintings are built from contrasting the center of interest and varying the art elements to create depth and movement. Along with drawing and using a limited pallet these are my fundamental tools in creating intriguing and beautiful art.
