ARTIST STATEMENT:

I believe I have a sixth love language — listening — and my art gives me the chance to follow my passion of connection.

Almost everyone who views my work has a story, sometimes it’s the initial impression of a species, but more often it’s because the painting reminds them of a person, animal or event from their life,  and I get to be a witness to that memory.

I paint lifelike animals and the connection starts with the photograph, it extends to the painting as it unfolds beneath my brush and culminates with the story my painting evokes.

C A is a member of the Santa Fe Studio Arts Collective and is a certified New Mexico True artist-
