“Art to love”

I
continually challenge myself by using different media and subjects in my art,
working in a broad scope from small to large-scale paintings.
The beauty of
color is always an inspiration to paint and create.
I enjoy the experience of
laying color on a surface, by using oil,
acrylic, charcoal, watercolor, pastels,
pencils and inks.
In the process of using different tools and media,
I discover
new ways to create artwork.
I especially enjoy the aesthetic process of
combining line and form
to create an interesting composition in a picture.
My
art is for everyone and appeals to a wide range of collectors.
