Hey Sweetie Art

My girlfriend got me into painting.....at first I laughed at her and told her that I could never stand still for a 3 hour/week painting class. Eventually she talked me into trying it. The 3 hour class whizzed by as though it was only 10 minutes long. I was mezmerized and in awe of the little yellow apple I had painted all on my own! Need I say more? I have been painting ever since that class....which was over 5 years ago. I have taken many painting courses over the past 5 years and continue to take classes. While I paint, I also continue to learn.

Painting reaches a part of me that I simply can not put into words. Sometimes I feel like the canvas is painting me.....instead of me painting the canvas. It brings me joy as I access my deeper creative self, a part of me that seems to have been in hibernation since I was in grade school. I only paint what I love... and usually with a non-judgemental mind.... love what I paint.

I paint with bright colors almost always, and as you will see.... I love to paint what I often think is a younger version of myself, as well as many many hearts. My art is quite girly and hopefully invokes different feelings, and thoughts in each person. Some of the art you will see is my original creation. Other pieces I have painted from a picture or greeting card that captured my heart.

I sell my art, have been commissioned for a piece, and also hang my art on the walls of my home for my family and I to enjoy. I also like to give some of my art away to organizations where I feel my paintings will have an uplifting or inspiring impact on people who are struggling with life's unpredictable and difficult challenges. I would like to think that each good deed I do in my life and from my heart, some how in some way, helps to make this world a brighter, kinder, more compassionate place.

I hope that you find a calm and happy place within yourself when you reflect upon my art. I also hope that if it is your dream, you too can find a place and a space to express your own unique and beautiful creativity within this universe.
