::Feedback::
"Got the painting today and I am very pleased. It tells a story......like all of your work seems to..... To me, all great art tells a story and all great artists are storytellers... Proud to be a collector of your work." - Harold Smith

::Taken from my Artist Statement::
"Elusive, seductive, and emotionally evocative: my primary focus is Color. ... From melancholy lavender-grays and diplomatic blue-greens, to playful and child-like pinks and pretty peaches, color always has an emotion to express."
