“Painting is like dreaming. The pictures are a result of the dream. I celebrate the human experience through visual storytelling. Most of the image are from memory combined with life studies, photographic studies, and are brightly colored to emphasize expression rather than realism. My offering to the viewer is the poetry of line, color, and the evocation of emotion.”
