"A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art." - Paul Cezanne -

I also believe that art should evoke emotion, whether is be joy, happiness, wonder, or any of the gamut of emotions that we can feel.  Since art begins with emotion, it should continue in emotion.

Some of my work, along with two of my friends, is on display at the Ruth V. Tyler Library in Midvale, Utah. I invite you to come a experience emotion while enjoying great art, for free.  Our work is on Display through June 30, 2012.
