Artist Statement:
It really started with my Grandmother, who was an artist. She wasn’t famous and she never sold a painting, but she loved it! She gave them away to anyone who liked them. I thought it was sweet, this little old lady who paints, but it wasn’t ever really something I had considered doing past my high school years.  

She eventually passed away and shortly after I started dreaming of paintings every night. I had all of her brushes and paints and even some canvas’ in my garage so I thought why not. The dreams weren’t stopping and I had the means to paint my dreams. 

I don’t know if painting was a gift she gave me or a way to feel closer to someone I dearly miss, either way it is daily blessing.
