My artwork is reflective of the people and places I travel to and work with.  As a former elementary school teacher and now as a Family Lawyer I have an opportunity to meet people in varying levels of conflict and turmoil within the legal systems of Family, Juvenile, and sometimes Criminal law.  I see first hand the heightened emotions of families in turmoil and or transition and I try to capture the real-life emotions in my paintings.  I am fortunate to have nearly 50 paintings in several county court houses that are viewed by thousands of families each year as they enter into and negotiate through the specific legal system they are in.
