"I believe in art that inspires the spirit while engaging the mind." Gail Sauter
My work is an exploration of life's simplest moments. I search for the timeless in the familiar and present a painterly translation of people going about their day-to-day lives. Details and features remain ambiguous, inviting the viewer to seek something of themselves in the work and, perhaps, become more attuned to the poetry that surround us.
