I was walking my dog past this new coffee shop on opening day. It was a beehive of local activity with families waiting to support this new neighborhood business in the near west end. There was a celebratory vibe with neighbors chatting outside, offering best wishes to this new establishment.

Artist Statement: 

I am an expressionistic oil painter that loves to paint landscapes, people, interiors and animals. I use energetic brushwork to communicate my passion for my subjects with the intention of creating a two-way narrative with the viewer. The mundane is not mundane in my eyes. Rather, it is an opportunity to explore and illuminate the day-in, day-out lives we live. Richmond is our collective home. She is multi-layered, rich in spirit and full of humanity. My Richmond oil paintings aim to reflect and celebrate our connection to this small, yet magnanimous city.
