“To my mind,  a picture should be something pleasant,

cheerful and pretty – yes pretty! 

There are plenty of unpleasant things in life as it is

without creating still more of them.”

​

This is a quote by Pierre Auguste Renoir, a French Impressionist, circa 1880’s, and it simply summed up my philosophy of art. This world can always use more beauty, joy, love and hope.

An illustration career from toys to books, to giftware to corporate illustration, with the addition of fine art gallery shows, has lead me to where I am today. Sharing my bliss for the joy of it.
