I believe that our lives are dictated by our emotions. When a person looks at my paintings I hope they are transported to a time and place with feelings that they have never experienced. I want people to feel happy and content. By using soft pastels or alcohol based inks I am able to bring colors and images to life  Whether it be vivid bold strokes or soft pale shades my desire is for the images and colors to dance off of the paper.  My greatest hope is for people to experience feelings they have never felt and to be transported to times and places that are new, interesting and full of wonder.
