Artist's Statement

There's a certain joy in the act of creating.  It's definitely a challenge. 
I believe, for me, the desire comes from God.  He is the master of creativity, of color and light.  I'm constantly amazed at the variety and beauty I see all around me every day.  I'm just trying to capture a little of that wonder and put it on paper.
