Artist's Statement:
Riding on a motorcycle is such a wonderful, invigorating experience! (Especially if you're as lucky as I am to have such a great driver.) Your senses come alive.
You become hyper-aware of all the sights, sounds, and smells around you. As you breathe it all in your worries seem to slip away as fast as the scenery.
My photos are always taken "on-the-fly" they are never staged - that would spoil the moment as well as the mood of the art. With my camera, and then my pastels, I work to capture the look and feel of the moment - the experience!
For days and weeks I will stand at my art table, listening to classic rock on the radio
painting and blending the rich pigments of the pastels until I feel I have recreated an experience that will allow...
...those who have never ridden, to understand,
those who have forgotten, to remember,
those who miss it, to relive it,
and those who love it, to enjoy!

Life is good!
In 2001 I decided my husband deserved a really great Christmas present, so I surprised him with a gift certificate for a three day Harley rental. Well, after much consideration we decided that we really wanted to ride the Harley to Key West, so for our birthdays in January we added three more days. But decided that still wasn't enough. So we decided to make it a 22nd anniversary trip in April and added three more days. That would have ended on a Sunday when the dealership was closed so they threw in Sunday for free and we got a ten day trip! It was one of the best things we ever did. Fifteen months later we were the proud owners of a 2002 Heritage Softail Classic! And now, because I gave my husband his dream, I am getting my dream of being an artist when I grow up.
