Making Art is a Necessity

Painting is a spiritual practice. Each time I show up in the studio or outside with my sketchbook, I trust that God is at work within me, bringing healing and joy into the world. My work is influenced by the shapes and colors of the unique landscape and  modern architecture of the southern California deserts where I grew up.
