Artist Statement
Painting is my passion. I paint primarily in a representational manner, but I love the abstract shapes found in our environment and in nature, which draw me in and inspire me. I tend to paint places that I have been to or things that I know, reliving a moment in time or recapturing the emotion felt. Each painting is a personal journey allowing me to put my own perspective on what I see, making the ordinary or familar take on a new life. As an artist, I hope to stir a reaction in those who see my work.
