Artist's Statement

"If you ask someone to point to themselves, they will not point to their head but to their heart. Creativity is not centered in the brain, it is a labor of love.

"I am compelled to express love through my brush no matter what I am creating. It is the only way to evoke an emotional response from the viewer.

"A painting is not a work of art until a viewer connects to and becomes one with it.

"The majesty of God's manifest universe, including the beauty and symmetry of the human form, resonate with a Divine urge within me, guiding me to express with joy as I apply pigment to canvas. As life flows through me, I am able to breathe life and soul into my work.

"Using dramatic light and a full palette, I strive for excellence with every brush stroke, knowing God will grant me perfection if I persevere."
