Painting gives me the encouragement and freedom to simply create from my heart, instead of find a balance between educational training and personal expressions. “It is not about being compared to people with training or degrees; it’s about what comes natural to me.I am very humbled that people like my work enough to want them hanging in there home, where they can see it everyday.I stop and thank God for releasing this gift in me to share with others and to make people smile ...I like painting with a lot of color, warm and cool. Happy art. Being self-taught gives me no parameters on what is right or wrong. I don’t think there is any right or wrong in art. Finally, just paint, every day...paint because YOU love to paint! Don’t doubt yourself EVER keep painting.
