ARTIST STATEMENT
I have spent
the last 30 plus years in the field of finance in some shape or form. As CFO for companies from Houston to Napa, I recently have exhausted my exuberance for the corporate environment. My left side of the brain needed a respite
and has given the right side freedom to pursue its long overdue cravings and
pursuits.
As an
intense foodie, I express my love of food through my art. Just seeing fresh produce at farmer’s markets
gets me excited as I snap photos for reference.
The colors, shapes and textures along with how the sunlight plays upon
them makes me excited to begin a new journey through the world of food.
Although I
dabbled in watercolors for a few years, soft pastels have become my medium of
choice. They are very tactile and allow
me to really feel my paintings as they come to life. It is a very exciting journey and I look
forward to many years experiencing life’s treasures – FOOD!
