I am a self-taught artist that has always been enamored of the art world. Something about colors, textures and creativity excites me to my core. I began painting by accident. I was working for a company that demanded more than I could handle. It was my son that encouraged me to start painting to relieve my stress. Art therapy saved my life. The subjects I love to paint about are the many different human emotions and my love for humanity. These subjects are very dear to my soul and are expressed in the paintings I have submitted for this exhibition.
