Artist Statement:
FOR YEARS I have enjoyed many
subjects in my studio. In the
last several years however,
the focus of my work has been
to capture the pure landscape
"en plein air". As I've
painted and taught in Claude
Monet's garden in the village
Giverny, France, in the U.S.
and Europe, the experience has
been nothing short of
profound. The landscape comes
alive, as I work to capture
the light that redefines the
scenes before me. I realize
now why Monet painted his
garden for 40 years and could
not exhaust it's enduring
beauty. I am even more filled
with the wonder of what God
has created around me. It is
to him my art is dedicated,
with parents and husband whose
supportive contributions have
made it possible for me to be
a painter for life....
