I make art for the home--pieces scaled to life and designed to create happiness and contentment. Throughout my childhood in Austin, I would sit and draw house plans for hours. I thought that meant I wanted to be an architect. But I didn't want to build houses. I wanted to build homes. Houses are built with stones and mortar. Homes are built with trust, commitment and love. The foundation of a home is a happy marriage. The fruit of that marriage is children who feel safe and loved. The beauty of a harmonious home is found in a crackling fireplace; home-cooked meals enjoyed around the table; babies tucked in with cozy blankets; and art: nothing complicated or over thought. My paintings are pleasant and designed to make your heart smile. I create art to help make home a place of refuge, peace and tranquility. |
