My Bio
"I end up resigning myself by saying, it's experience and each day's little bit of work alone that in the long run matures and enables one to do things that are more complete or more right. So slow, long work is the only road, and all ambition to be set on doing well, false. For one must spoil as many canvasses as one succeeds with when one mounts the breach each morning."

It’s discipline and repetition and failure and perseverance and dumb luck and blind faith and devotion. It’s showing up when you don’t feel like it, when you’re exhausted and you think you can’t go on. Transcendent moments come when you’ve laid the groundwork and you’re open to the moment. They happen when you do the work. In the end, it’s about the work. -Bryan Cranston

Will any artist hesitate to admit that it is a lively pleasure to her to feel that on the other side of the world someone may be smiling happily over her work, and that she is thus living in that person though she knows nothing about it? -Samuel Butler

Your work is absolutely beautiful and very realistic. I just love it. Your paintings are particularly lively and fragrant, telling their own story so well.
I just made an emotional journey through your gallery...what an amazing body of work! 
Each image is so perfect--capturing mood, light, texture...and emotion. Just stunning--I salute your skills and talent, and am now watching, so I don't miss anything! Thank you for sharing your work with us here at dA.
