“Kids Being Kids!” Paintings

“You will not see me paint angelic children wearing clean white lace gowns in romantic rooms with flowered wallpaper. ‘My kids’ might be dirty, have a scratch on their knee or bandaid on their finger or wearing clothing that they’ve outgrown or not grown into yet! You’ll find them in their own back yard, on a dock fishing or somewhere in the neighborhood... having fun, getting into mischief, trying something new or mimicking an adult. 

“We are children for such a short time! I try to capture some of that time in my work, and whether my paintings remind you of your own carefree days as a child or the children in your lives today, you will always see ‘my kids’ doing things that make them happy. I’m always striving to paint childhood the way I feel it should be and I hope I can make people smile with my work.”
