I paint as a form of self-expression and to show people the world of beauty that God, the greatest artist, created. I want to share the appreciation of all that is in the worldbe it animals, flowers, buildings, or people. Sometimes I express my happiness or sadness through my paintings or even my sense of whimsy. I want to share with others who I am or what I sense through my art. Sometimes I want to touch something inside of them as a way to connect or to help them remember.
