I remember watching the artist, Bob Ross, on Saturday mornings growing up. I was amazed how he created beautiful landscapes starting with nothing. Even though he peeked my interest, I never really had a desire to paint.
About 15 years later, I thought about how I use to enjoy watching Bob paint so I decided to buy my first acrylic paint set. It was just a small, six-pack of primary colors by Liquitex.

About 15 years later, I thought about how I use to enjoy watching Bob paint so I decided to buy my first acrylic paint set. It was just a small, six-pack of primary colors by Liquitex. It was another ten years before I even opened the original set of paints that I purchased. Immediately, I realized that painting gave me a peace of mind….it was a form of mediation for me….a place where I could express and release my feelings and inner thoughts of how I see the world. I never could imagined that painting would expand my world.
I’m at a wonderful stage in life and I am continuously unfolding the unlimited possibilities…discovering, exploring, learning and enjoying the cycle of change and transformation. Art is refreshing, renewing and endlessly revolving….displaying life's beauty in another dimension. I also realize that my mistakes and imperfections sometimes makes the best paintings.
Thank you for sharing your time with me. Take time to explore and discover the creativity that lies within you.
Peace and much love,
