Sunset is a magical time in the southwest. This is a scene looking across the mesa to Taos mountain. At this time of day turning into night I can feel the presence of spirits as the light transforms the shapes. On this early evening the clouds were glowing a orange and Taos mountain is solidly resonating with a deep blue and purple glow like a jewel lit from within. I feel the whole world holds still at this time of day, holding its breath in wonder at the pageant of beautiful clouds drifting home to heaven. I like the idea that the clouds look like flowers, slowly drifting across the sky, catching the last beautiful light of the sun as they dance above the mesa. 
 
    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”.
