Artist Statement:
Nature heals, it inspires, it transports us from the noise of the everyday world as it refreshes our souls. My floral abstract paintings celebrate the intrinsic beauty found in nature and everyday life. My paintings have an atmospheric quality to them, and I am subtly influenced by the French Impressionist painters Pierre-August Renoir and Claude Monet, as well as American painter Georgia O'Keefe. I grew up attending the Art Institute of Chicago with my mother Carol, who loved art, nurtured my creative spirit and passed down to me her rich knowledge of art history. I am oftentimes told that my paintings make the viewer feel joyful and evoke a sense of calm. I believe in approaching each painting I create with love, and creating from the heart. Every painting of mine is a work of my soul displayed on canvas.
