Now I understand. I am who you are. You are who I am. The human emotion of that is what I am reaching for in my artwork. No matter the subject, my art is about us. Your passion will be different from mine and so will the way you pursue that passion. Your circumstances, your skills, your spirit, your dreams, your family, your fortunes, etc., are not like mine, but under pinning it all we are the same. By that I mean we all, I know, are striving for our own level of peace and satisfaction. My innate passion to do art is no different from your innate passion to….well, do whatever you strive to do.
So, with that said, I can tell you that I know! I know how wonderful it is to finally, be able on some level, at some point, to “DO” your thing. Whether you are dabbling at your passion or full on doing your passion, I believe that we, as children of the Divine Creator, are called to one thing or another. My calling is multi-faceted. For that I am grateful.
I have a Fine Arts Degree from Sam Houston University, but I have spent the majority of my life as a wife, mother, spiritual person and a real estate agent in Huntsville, Texas. Thankfully, I have also always had interest, passion and training in fine art. The year I spent in the program "Created to Thrive," through Matt Tommey Mentoring, helped me discover the purpose in a more structured yet liberating way.
And, it is with that same level of gratitude that I present my evolving artwork to you now. I lay it all on the line/website for you to see, and I hope, to enjoy. I work primarily in oils and pastels with an impressionistic approach. I’ve studied with some of the best, painted in exotic places, painted in your backyard and mine, but I have FINALLY realized that this journey is so much more than the way we do it. Come with me. Stand on whatever precipice is before you. Jump off and see where you land. I am still falling, but looking for the landing and I hope you see it in my work.
