I continue to persevere, always seeking excellence. I am a multi-media artist with an insatiable desire to expand my oeuvre using novel techniques and an ever changing palette to help portray my vision. Over the years it has become easier to allow the viewer to peer into the lens of my soul by virtue of my works. Wherever I go, I find unexpected pleasure in the people I meet and I am visually compelled to put this to paint. I am drawn to their indomitable spirits and honored to borrow these intransigent energies as I translate life to art with an impressionistic élan. This energy is a gift that comes through me for which I am forever grateful. Each painting is my gift back.
