I began drawing and painting as a way of escape of life's doldrums.
Even as a child, I completed oil paintings and I knew art improved my life. A self taught artist, it wasn’t until I was an adult, that I recognized art also has the power to heal the mind and body of others. Art can rejuvenate the human imagination and re-energize a wilting human spirit. I discovered that many research studies have proven that art can, and does, promote healing.
When I paint I travel to the peaceful places in my mind. I grow more serene. My heart rate appears to slow down. My breathing becomes slow and rhythmic. The responsibilities of modern life are put in perspective: they become much easier to accept. I am reminded of what is important: family and the beautiful nature of God's grace. When communing with paint on the canvas, my heart seems to take over my imagination appearing in shots of color burst's. Soft or strong, dancing swirling and curling..the dancing brush as I refer to it..each brush stroke... it's own song a secret melody.
Art has the power to improve your life. It is my wish that my art brings you joy, sunshine and a healthy life!
