Description The color clothes that thw woman inmate was required to wear every day was gold and green. This picture depicts the grace and beauty that can come of such an experience. Prison took my sense of worth and value as I had consequences necessarily as a result of poor choices. The woman I painted shows that I can leave prison a better person than I walked in if I choose.

Artist Statement My years in recovery have been wonderful years. I would not trade who I am today for who I was in my youth.To become who I am has not been without a price. My path has been difficult because like many of us I have required serious lessons for a stubborn will. I have had to experience many of the "yets" that I held onto and that kept me separate and unteachable. I have felt my death, caused great heartache, spent time in prison, lost careers, relationships, and many material things. I have also been given many joys and miracles. I am not unique, but I as others, have been gifted with the ability to put it in visible form-my Art.

I try to express what some of my experience in this life has been. Pain and Joy are universal to all people and I do not have a corner on experience. My hope is that some of what I do touches your experiences and that you too relate to what I paint. And, that both the wonderful and the painful are beautiful.
