Bold,rich story telling with a strong sense of purpose. Abstract Expressionism is how I use color as my subject, texture as my message or statement, and scale as my conviction. I have total disregard for the "traditional" stylistic progression. I never want to limit my range of ideas and materials.Being an artist is like searching for something you didn't know you were looking for and finding it.
Represented by Nicolette at Kai in London.

This is an artistic tribute to them, but it is the raw emotion of their story thru these canvas which makes it a compelling experience.
" Flight, Training Wheels and Wings", at the Air & Space Museum/San Diego is in the Education wing, exploring flight by telling the story in an way that allows your own imagination to soar.
