ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I choose to see beauty, light and color in the world. This is what drives me to paint...whether it is a field of flowers, a simple pear or a bustling city street, I'm always striving to capture those elusive qualities of color and light as well as the beauty in the everyday. I believe an artist paints what is in their soul and whether I'm working on a colorful abstract, or a traditional still life, I hope the passion and joy that I find in the process makes its way to the viewer.
