Artist's Statement
My passion is art and painting. I love to explore the possibilities of a subject and consider what could , or should be. I believe it is the job of the artist to express the truth and essence of our world. Discovering and communicating that essence in an exciting, interesting manner that the viewer can participate in is my personal challenge as a painter. I tend to seek the very same attributes in art as in life; a positive perspective, unity, harmony, and balance.
