There is no greater joy for me than to have someone connect with my art. I love the interaction that can be had with another person because of art. Capturing a moment in time that may not happen again is magical, all from the use of  paint and a blank canvas. Color and brushstrokes can further make each painting unique to that moment. I never tire of looking at nature's wonders, and I never tire of painting. For me, every painting is an emotional journey.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eI was born and raised in a suburb outside of Buffalo, NY. My parents settled there while my dad played football for the Buffalo Bills. As a child, we traveled every summer to the North Carolina beaches. I fell in love with the Carolina coastline. As an adult, I have brought my own children to visit BHI for family gatherings for over 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eI have a BFA from the University of Connecticut.
