A lone tree reaches it's arms to the sky as if welcoming the light of the new day. How many dawns has it witnessed? How many storms has it withstood? How many creatures has it sheltered? How many changes in the world has it seen? Yet it is steadfast and strong as it welcomes the light.

The light symbolizes the spirituality in us all.
In Christianity, God is the light - one that can lead us through the darkness.
A Celtic belief is that trees symbolize life - their roots firmly planted in the ground and their branches reaching to the sky.

I love being outdoors and seeing the beauty of nature during all seasons. I love color and the great way you feel when colors come together in just the right way. This is the inspiration for my painting and most of my work depicts scenes from nature. I believe in lifelong learning and love the painting process where you never stop learning and discovering new things. I hope you enjoy my paintings!
