"I believe an artist's life is a life of consummate creativity, every day a new creative opportunity, a new creative challenge. For me, being an artist is not just about the work I create, but more about being a true creative persona, applying creativity to everything in my life, and to always fulfill my need to express.

I especially love the challenge of painting people. Each painting starts with sketches from life, an intense study of the physical and the emotional. It is these observations that allow me to understand the unique nuances that define each subject. Without the technical ability to capture a true likeness of a person, even the most beautiful painting would fall short and be a failure. It is this process I use to seek and capture life, beauty, harmony and the embodiment of my subject. What is expressed is what I see, what I am shown, and what I feel from an interaction of life around me.

My art is ever changing and evolving, different tomorrow than it is today. Painting allows me to capture all the moments of my life."
