ARTIST STATEMENT

“First and foremost, I am a colorist. Along with color, keys to my artwork are balance, composition, line and movement. I am a painter by training, inclination and choice. My desire is to create and develop new images, which have an element of beauty, movement and mystery, creating emotional impact that viewers can enjoy and appreciate.”

“The story behind my artwork is centered on the challenge: intellectually, physically and emotionally, to develop a setting or a composition that incorporates line, form and color to present an image of movement, rhythm and mystery.”
