“I love art. I paint because it’s fun.”
That says it in a nutshell, but I suppose I have to say something much more profound and philosophical than that. I have been doing creative things since I could first hold a pencil or manipulate a piece of clay. My art life has been an evolution with twists and turns, chaos to peace, shadow to light. I choose to work primarily in pastels because I love the immediacy of them. I also love having so many beautiful colors right at my fingertips without having to mix them! I enjoy manipulating the ground for varying textural effects.
I am constantly working toward finding my pastel voice. Every new piece is an experiment and a learning process. The most memorable training I have had is the classes and workshops I have taken from prominent Utah pastelist Colleen Howe, my mentor and friend.
