The creative act has always been a part of my life. I enjoy working with my hands, and seeing my thoughts and ideas take shape in a drawing,
painting, or repair project in my home. Working with any tools, whether hammer and saw, or pencil and sharpener, can be considered a creative act.
Because I like to work with the simple objects that surround me, still life painting seemed to be a natural undertaking, although I didn’t take to it right
away. I found it difficult to arrange objects in a manner typical of classic still life painting, prompting me to seek out alternative, less traditional ways to
set up still life objects. I also enjoy painting flowers, and even venture into the occasional landscape. I find  these subjects fascinating because they
are the common, everyday things that surround us. They can hold so much beauty, yet we often take them for granted.
