Artist's statement :
I like to draw from life, making lightning sketches to capture essence, body language, and mood. This Is the basis of every painting. I am fascinated by the body language of people, and animals.
Life encompasses movement, music, bearing, joy, love, passion, compassion, melancholy and it has been my intention to capture these qualities as I perceive them. My new collection of abstract and quasi abstract has technique based strongly on the classical. They evoke a feeling of longing but with a strong positive message of hope and love.
