Statement:
I create for the joy and freedom it brings into my life. This process of creating and expressing my ideas through drawing and painting had been woven into my being early on. I enjoy studying a subject and having it evolve on canvas through form, color, design, and light.
I invite you, the beholder, to share a moment and enjoy whatever thoughts my paintings evoke in you.
