Artist Statement:

Bright Colors and Design artistically inspire my Art work. My art style matured while working in several National Parks. I developed my own style of impressionism while surrounded by nature's beauty. I live on Lake Murray, in Chapin, SC where I find peace and joy surrounded by nature's beauty. My love for life and bright colors expressed in my paintings, is my hope that others will have a sense of excitement as they view my artwork.
