ARTIST STATEMENT

I have been surrounded by women most of my life, having been raised, together with my four sisters, by three selfless women. In addition, I spent six years of my life as a nun. Thus I am most inspired to create 'woman' paintings and illustrations.

Through my 'woman' paintings and illustrations, I wish to offer the world images of 'woman' who is ---

. . . modest and simple,

. . . gentle and caring,

. . . bold and creative,  

. . . prayerful and contemplative.

May you encounter a 'kindred' spirit or an inspiration from my 'woman' paintings and illustrations.
