"I love to capture the delicate beauty and colors of the desert in my paintings. My desert calms me with it's peace and beauty. I am fortunate to have grown up in Twentynine Palms California and enjoy it's beauty through it's smallest desert animals to it's vast, open, colorful landscapes."
" Once you let the desert enter your soul it changes you."
"The Desert has been instilled in my heart forever."
