Artist's Statement:      Art to Heart

"I hope you never lose your sense of wonder." 

Not original, but I believe that is what allows us to really see the beauty in this world. 
I paint children...of all ages.  They are us before we allowed our insecurities and inhibitions to take over.  
Before we started worrying about what other people think. 
I paint them doing what children do.  They are curious; they explore.  In many ways they are fearless. They have no need to hide their happiness, or sorrow, or pain.  I try to paint that openness.  I paint to remember.  And I paint to remind you, the viewer, that there is still a lot of magic in this old world.
