Folk Art: Layers of Thought and Color

The inspiration for my folk art pieces often begins with a single thought or image and grows into a deeper story that comes from within.  Knowing that my story connects with others is one of the main pleasures in an artist's life.  I work from simple sketches and let a less conscious level of painting take hold.

I believe in the power of color and the distance our minds can travel through art. Folk Art provides a healing journey into our inner selves.
