"A painting should be more than just style. It should have substance, make a statement, or give rise to thought and conversation.

I appreciate all forms of art whether decorative, non-objective or representational. My preference is to use my artistic skills to bring an awareness of the beauty that surrounds us and the environment that we take for granted.

I paint only subjects or experiences that I have personally encountered and strive to share the emotions that I feel about the subject as eloquently and creatively as possible.

My goal is to share with others what my eyes see, my heart feels and my soul yearns to understand."
