In my paintings, I create with a mixture of abandon and focus. Materials are intuitively selected. I let the work speak to me and then integrate the elements together to create a cohesive, joyful whole.

I love the inner silence that I experience during the creative process. The  paintings seem to call out with dynamism and a variety of emotions.  I know that there is a good chance that those who view my work will see, feel, and think something entirely different. Cathy O’Keefe
