Artist Statement

I look around with thoughts of what I can

capture in a painting?

Painting is a great way of expressing

thoughts and sights in an interesting and unique form.

"Painting helps me understand both the physical aspect of nature as well as a perceptive account to nature."

I have travelled to both northern and southern parts of the USofA,

As for Canada. I have been to Nova scotia, Nova Scotia to Ontario but nowhere in between British Columbia and Ontario. Just thought you might like to know that....

Alaska is beautiful in the summer but I don't think I would enjoy their winters... :)

I have been to Inuvik and found that the people there are a friendly and happy crowd.

If I had the chance to travel back to Inuvik, I would leave in an instant.

That is if it is summertime. .

I would like to travel to Nunavut one day.

Rankin Nunavut.

.

I think I could live in a nice warm climate like Mexico or Chili. .

The Best LUCK I HAVE IS MEETING LOVABLE PEOPLE. .

.

I like to see the good in everyone. I like to keep my sketches close to my heart. .
