Somehow I started introducing writing into my drawings, and after a time, the language took over.... ~Patti Smith

Prose, Poetry & Passion 

As a painter, I work to capture emotion and meaning in pictorial form.  Poets and writers work to do the same through language.  I have a few beloved poets and writers whose work serve as inspiration for me when I paint. The work below brings them into my art imagery.  A perfect marriage of prose, poetry, and passion!

Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.  ~Leonardo da Vinci
