Artist's Statement
My style is defined as original, intuitive, and imaginative, creating paintings based on an emotional response to a subject. The most consistent elements in my work are simple shapes and harmonious color. I want to express to the viewer a unique perspective of life by telling my story, using the language of paint and brush.
