There was an amazing oil painting over the fireplace that lit up the room. I sought out the artist, picked up a palette knife and began to paint and study art in earnest.  As an artist my goal is to paint not only what I see, but what I feel. My faith, my family and my inherent love and awe for the natural world provide unending inspiration for me. Next to family and friends, travel is my great joy in life and the countries I have visited as well as the people I have met continue to inspire my art and my writing.  

In 2017 - standing in the living room during church small group, my love for art was rekindled.
