REGATTA GRAND Print

There is something magical in creating: combining color and surface, texture and tone, bringing an image into being. An inspiration, a vision – synchronized with head, hand and heart – brought to life. Even when not painting I create within my subconscious. I see. I feel. I imagine. Then, as I paint, the work develops - bringing forth surprising expectations. Intent on expressing a feeling rather than rendering a representational illustration, I simply surrender to my emotion. There are no rules with my art. After all the schooling and experience I permit myself to ignore the academics and allow invention to take place. This is the essence of creativity. I paint concepts, not pictures. Many of my paintings are illusion like, in that what you see is what you choose to see – evoking an emotion within you. I prefer to speak to your emotions with my art and want you to be part of it through your interpretation.
