PAINTED WORDS

I help people tell their stories, connecting them to what they want to say, how to say it and, most importantly, why what they say matters. Words have power to shape ideas, drive action, divide and unite us and the right words, delivered in the right order, can leave leave a permanent imprint on our hearts and in our minds.

Words trigger images to be captured…

I MUST VISUALIZE to understand. To feel. Words have faces and color. I appreciate a turn of phrase that stops me, makes me think: War is what happens when language fails. (Margaret Atwood). The way three simple words- I love you - can start a life, and good-bye can end one.

I believe that connection deepens when great adjectives and images align to create pictures in our minds, translating time, place and assumptions into abstract concepts, and flashes of inspiration into new ways of seeing and experiencing ideas.

Making these connections is my why. I seek to capture the color of feelings, the emotion in stories and the fleeting images that cross my mind when I am moved by words. I aim to reinforce these connections, through painted words that convey simple, universal feelings and experiences.
