My paintings reflect… the rich and varied texture of Southern Louisiana with its diverse history and culture. My work reflects the color, sounds and movement of the environment in which I live, giving voice to what is felt, perceived and experienced. I am dedicated to allowing the images to depict the vibrancy of my curiosity and deep engagement with life.
