For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at every moment; but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life - the light and the air which vary continually. For me, it is only the surrounding atmosphere which gives subjects their true value. Claude Monet If a given combination of trees, mountains, water, and houses, say a landscape, is beautiful, it is not so by itself, but because of me, of my favor, of the idea or feeling I attach to it. Charles Baudelaire quotes No one knows what cuases an outer landscape to become an inner one. whiteflowers Margaret Atwood quotes Often while reading a book one feels that the author would have preferred to paint rather than write; one can sense the pleasure he derives from describing a landscape or a person, as if he were painting what he is saying, because deep in his heart he would have preferred to use brushes and colors. . Frank Lloyd Wright: ''Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.'' - Victor Hugo

My paintings are inspired by nature.My home is surrounded by seven adorable parakeets. These parakeets have filled my
home with love and inspiration. My parakeets embody my world with vivid
colors and sweet melodies that that echo throughout my home and heart.
I am constantly mesmerized by their grace while in flight..My art consists of being able to tell a story and and at the same time allows me room for self expression in
my paintings. In my work I focus on the use of color, layering paint,
and playing with composition.

beneath him, yet sings knowing he hath wings. - Victor Hugo
