Sometimes, events in my world inspire me to select certain subject matter that I use to make a point.

We all have endings and beginnings throughout our lives.  Early childhood ends, adolescence begins, and suddenly we are striving for independence and autonomy, even though our immature brains are not really ready for the new responsibilities.  High school ends, and post-secondary pursuits begin.

Small works are the opposite of what you normally see in a public art gallery, where canvases can be six by six feet in dimension. 

In March of 2023, I was fortunate to visit Spain...I took a picture of a Rock Dove, better known as the common pigeon

I did this painting inspired by a photo of a door and wall I took in Tuscany last fall, while traveling in Italy.  What intrigued me the most about this door and wall was the layers of history showing through.
