Secluded Cove

My art is all about mood and atmosphere....The mood I'm in when I'm creating and the atmosphere of the finished piece....

I let the fluid movements of brush and paint take me away to wherever I need to go at that moment. I do not plan a direction for what a piece may look like. It really is a dance of unconscious energy.

I usually only paint during the winter months when the cold just won't let go and I crave the teasing warmth of spring. There is something about swirling a brush around on a snow white canvas and filling it with warm colors that let's me shake the cold.

I'm also very selfish when it comes to my artwork. I have a hard time letting a piece go. Although I like to share the creative experience, I never intended for my art to be made for financial gain. I make it for the enjoyment of the creative process. I make it to decorate my home and I make it to lift my spirits and to enhance my life. Basically it's that simple.
