A joyous summer day with the bright reds, tasty green grass fed by the summer monsoons and budding lavender shadows.  I love seeing horses out in the wide open space of the southwest. I remember the first time I saw some on a drive up to Taos, standing in a meadow near the road. I made a fast stop to jump out and do a few quick sketches and take bunches of photos. They are a symbol of freedom and strength - the still wild spirit of west. 
 
    I feel it is my mission in life to bring happiness and joy through my art to as many people as I can. I am communicating through my work that we are all connected through beauty and love. My intention is to create a visual space for people to feel joy. In order to express emotion in my paintings I use color and composition to communicate my story. I’m not just copying something I have seen; I’m reliving something I felt. 
    
    I add something of my soul to every painting, so that when someone looks at my artwork long after I’m gone, some enmeshed part of my spirit is gazing back, saying “be of good cheer”.
