Artist Statement

Human emotions: joy, sorrow, love, laughter, and all the nuances, are the themes within my art. We often oscillate through these emotions, particularly in these difficult times. It’s important to remember that we are human and the battle now is against AI and the machine. We feel it everyday on a dehumanizing level. Pablo Picasso stated that “it takes a long time to become young.” I am at that point in my life, and want to rely on my foundation – my humanism. Working with my hands, seeing with my eyes, interpreting with my mind’s vision brings well being. My current training with Johanna Furst’s studio in Lambertville, NJ, has given me confidence to fulfill a lifelong dream of being a full-time painter.
