Vendor Biography

My artist growth over time has been the understanding of the purpose for my work. The visual is relational. My viewer enters the space created and reflects on a moment in time. They remember the moment and will become overwhelmed with the need to share. The image, as they share, will give them the visual needed to again reflect, and tell their personal story. 

Artist Statement- 

Places allow us to remember.

I push myself to capture a moment. 

I struggle to reenact a time to remember. 

For me, my life reruns through my mind, 

reflecting from time to time to reminisce. 

As the paint reveals more, my mind races to remember. 

These images are not of a special place. 

They are a journey of life, as I remember. 

As I walk this journey, others have also. 

This is the reason I need to share. 

Each of us must take time to reminisce and reflect. 

If we don’t, then the journey will be forgotten. 

My paintings are simply a moment in time. My idea is to take people to a moment so they may reflect and share experiences. As my storm was coming to an end, I met our Lord on a personal level. He shared with me a moment in my past, to show that he was present then, and is now in my life. Understanding the presence of our Lord, I’m on a journey of reflecting, and using this gift to share my experience, in the hope that others will also share their journey. I see my paintings as visual tools, to help others share their memories, and to develop relationships. I’ve come to recognize His presence through my journey, and my hopes and prayers are that others will too. I would like to encourage you to share this with others. I would be blessed. 

If I can capture a moment in time, how wonderful it is to know, it was a gift.
