One of my very first collectors, Ed Marhanka, dubbed my paintings 'BILLBOARDS OF HAPPINESS'. Zest for living dances from my brush onto the canvas. My mind whirls with ideas waiting to land in a painting. Why do I paint? I want to make a world where colors come alive, flowers burst with exuberance and the landscape bubbles with excitement. I want my joy to jump out of the painting and grab the viewer, giving them a big, Texas Sized HUG!
The dark brambles of an abusive past have been transformed into a joyous garden. On a cold winter day, early in 1990 God allowed a tall, dark, handsome stranger to walk into my world and turn it 'Right Side Up'. That man was Jack White. He became my mentor, art teacher, best friend, biggest fan and the love of my life. He taught me to paint and gently led me from being a victim to becoming victorious over an abusive past. Because of Jack's knowledge, generosity, love and encouragement I'm the artist I am today.
I'm very blessed to have wonderful collectors all over the world. Because of my Team Senkarik Members I'm able to make a living doing what I love, PAINT. I THANK YOU for allowing me this privilege.
