"Painting to me is like breathing, I think if I ever stop painting I would suffocate and die." - Sherry Arthur      

Why Landscape Art?    "I want to paint the world in a different light.  I want to feel happiness, serenity, and beauty from what I paint.  The world can sometimes have too much ugliness and I'd rather close my eyes to that, pick up a paintbrush, and create a thing of beauty.  I want to paint things that can possibly touch another person and have them feel that connection to their inner selves.  Possibly a cherished memory, or possibly just a relieving sigh.  I love to paint older homes, they remind me of simpler times, a time when people connected, helped each other, a time when the greater good seemed to be the rule, not just words."

Why Abstract Art?        "My abstract works are when my mind gets to clogged with problems.  Times when I lose the focus of turning ugly into beautiful.  Hurtles in life we must all overcome but sometimes just angers us or gets us down.  Sometimes these works are pure thought, a way for my mind to work through the problem I feel I need to put to rest.  They all have truly different emotions pouring through them."

    All in all my heart and my mind belongs to each and everything I paint.  I sometimes call them my babies because I share a connection with everything I paint.  A part of me will always be with them wherever they may go.  They start out blank and they grow, then they are cherished, loved, and handled with utmost respect.  I hope you find what you need looking into one, I know I do.
