Oil on Aluminum Panel.
I was born in New Mexico, where brilliant color backdrops the unique and rugged landscape; where diverse cultures converge with tradition and art, living up to its name, the “Land of Enchantment.” From the start, I embraced a fascination with the mystical and creative atmosphere of my home state. An elemental way of living in which tall tales, earthy symbols, and metaphors were commonplace helped shape my vision and expression. The enchantment has stayed with me and is a partner in my process as an artist. I work in natural light that transforms even simple objects into jewels that beckon me. This impetus begins a journey that is both mercurial and magical. Recently, my curiosity and love of oil paint has resulted in a 10-piece revelatory and reflective body of work: "Destiny and Purpose…the Internal Uprising".
