Most of my florals exude an energy that is contagiously happy. This painting explodes on the canvas in a joyful expression of cheer. It's how I love to paint.

In this lively abstract painting, I set out to capture a lightness and delicacy in the flowers. The stems rise up from the deep below, revealing their vibrant flowers at the top. With exuberance, they reach skyward, eager to catch the sun's rays in a playful dance.

The tilt-a-whirl ride at the carnivals in my youth was one of my and my sister's favorite rides. I can hear our screams of delight in this little painting. Whatever you see or feel when looking at it it gives you a sense of happy out of control fun.

"My Desire" showcases my distinctive calligraphic marks, illustrating a vibrant and energetic garden

"Happy to be Here" embodies the joyful "joie de vivre" that I'm passionate about capturing in my art.

I've taken care to paint the sides of the canvas, eliminating the need for framing. So, my message to you is simple: Be Happy.

When I receive a bouquet from my not so secret admirer (Dave) I keep it in my studio to paint. This one had a tulip in the middle of a variety of other flowers. I couldn't help thinking that they are all better together. Thus the name.

The lines in this piece flutter joyfully like butterflies dancing around flowers, adding a delightful spring to the painting.

Hoping for a emotional response, I placed the soft stems together to invoke a sense of togetherness and love. The yellow background comes forward to claim its space and to keep the abundance contained.

I have a strong affinity for wildflowers. There's a certain untamed essence about them, a resilient attitude that says, "I'll thrive here regardless of any obstacles." I find that captivating. Wildflowers possess a unique identity of their own. My perspective on them is expressed through a vibrant and abstract energy.

This sunny piece brings a lot of light to a wall. Yellow is one of my favorite colours and always makes me feel light and happy. It is framed in a white wood float frame and ready to hang

Recently, I attended a symphony orchestra and noticed a striking resemblance in the creative process to my own paintings. The notes, tones, and instruments served as the palette, while the conductor skillfully brought everything together. I truly appreciated the analogy. Here is my symphony, featuring an array of colors, shapes, and textures in an abstract floral composition.

While out in the garden, head down digging out weeds, I felt a small bit of wind lift my hair. It was ever so soft but made the flowers shift a little to the right. The wind was having fun with us in a gentle and graceful way. Gust" captures that moment for me.

"The Language of flowers" radiates the vibrant energy that I consistently seek to capture in my art. My calligraphic inventive marks are the language that I speak when painting my florals.

"Can't Help Myself" presents a display of natural foliage in an abstract, expressionistic style. It also expresses my feelings when I am in my studio and fully engaged with the creative process.
