Artists Statement

Painting is a very important part of my life, something I could not do without.  Every canvas represents a new challenge in which I set a mood and create an emotional impact. More than anything I want to communicate with the viewer.  In order for me to consider a painting successful my inner emotions have to emerge on canvas and create a sense of joy and freedom of spirit.
