Artist Statement
Bliss¹
Noun: Perfect happiness; great joy.
Synonyms: joy, pleasure, delight, happiness, gladness, ecstasy, elation, rapture, euphoria, heaven, paradise.
Bliss – it means different things to different people. These paintings represent my bliss. It is a place of warmth and water. To me it is serenity, peace and home. I feel bliss for the first time when I am there, and for the second time when I paint it. I urge you to discover your bliss whether it’s a place, an activity or simply a state of being.
