When I began painting, I discovered a surge of positive energy each time I created a new work.  Actually, I still do.  The inspiration for my abstracts comes from my inner spirit, but I must admit that the music I play while painting is also reflected in my work.  This painting is entitled, Positive Energy.  It represents the upbeat life force that has kept me going strong, despite some significant challenges.

A 20-year cancer survivor, Starting Over represents the joy of having a second chance at life.  I was proud to have this work included in the opening of St. Joseph's Cancer Institute's grand opening, featuring art from many survivors and their caregivers.
