Exhibiting in the Pride in Art Community Visual Art Show, July 26-August 13
“A Thought, Painted” –
“My work is inspired by a quest to create visions that are arresting yet pleasing. I have struggled with the same things that many abstract artists do, Form, Colour, and Design; yet my muse for the abstract will not let go of me. Many times people look at my art and say, “Oh, I could do that really easily.” I create abstract art for many reasons. I find it very challenging. My challenge is to create unity and harmony in objective and some non-objective forms. It fully engages my imagination.”
