ARTIST STATEMENT
This collection of paintings was inspired by everyday objects in my kitchen. The last year was different than the others. I spent o lot of time at home, helping my kids with virtual school. In the "meantime", I was painting common objects in my kitchen. The series with still life paintings are the result of the lock down and being home for my family.
I am open for art commissions: portraits, paintings of houses, still life paintings in the style that I paint.
