Artist Statement Because we are Earthlings, we are limited to express heavenly things in earthly symbols. Beautiful pictures are like beautiful words. The artist can show what the viewer may not see on his own.
Pictures have always danced in my head. Sometimes a dream will stick with me evoking feelings, even messages, that cry out to be released through my hands. I thrill at the breath of life a picture inhales as the layers build. It is my hope that you hear the voice in my pictures.
I am the mother of 10 biological children, half of whom are adults. My husband, children and I share our home with our beloved Rottweiler, Genevieve, in rural Tennessee.
Paradise
These baby cries and teenage sighs
And rowdy voices in between
Bespeak a fleeting paradise
God gave to Steve and me.
My husband and I teach our children to make a difference in the world, to work and pull their own weight and someone else's, too.
