The loss of my mother when I was a teenager has lead me on a journey in pursuit of expression via art and to develop my art primarily through painting with oils. I created this painting due to her love of cardinals and this transformed quickly almost with a “guiding hand’. I knew then that I was blessed with her wishes for me to continue on this journey into the world of art. My father, who was, in his own right, a talented artist and a modeler in the automotive industry, is where I can trace my artistic talents.
