"Amaryllis Celebration" - 22x23 pastel
14. Flowers have been the most constant subject throughout my art career - be they intertwined with musical instruments, gardens of daylilies or roses, or large floral portraits. The rhythms and colors of flowers have always captivated me. Some of my favorites are irises, daylilies and amaryllis - in fact, I was the artist-in-residence for the National Hemerocallis (daylily) Society in 1993.
15. My life's passion is to create paintings, no matter the subject, that transport you to another time and place. Through color, design and subject matter, I want to emotionally draw you into the image and tap your memories, senses and/or imaginations. Like a musician, I choose a color chord for each painting to create a sense of harmony and depth.
