Statement
Paint it Don’t Say it!
I’ve always had a lot to say, unfortunately most of the
time, words go straight from my heart through my
mouth, bypassing approval from my brain… I commonly
use the phrase “Think it, don’t say it!” Through my art I
am able to freely express myself without losing friends or
becoming a police chalk line on the sidewalk.
Don’t Worry Be Happy
Unlike many artists whose art is influenced by personal
struggles, I have led a pretty charmed life, just your average fiery,
redheaded Irish girl from the Midwest who, when left with an empty nest, decided to pick up a paint brush and fill her world with color.
I believe people react positively to the same colors throughout
their lives, because seeing your favorite color is like hearing your favorite
song, it brings comfort and makes you feel at home.
My goal as an artist is not to provoke your thoughts, it’s
to provoke your smile. I believe art is like entertainment
you hang on the wall and look to when you need a safe
happy place to lose yourself in….
