With passion anything is possible. I paint with conviction and anticipation, never sure of the final result.  This is the excitement in art.  I am constantly fascinated with finding new and expressive ways to captivate the viewer and make them part of the experience. As I gaze upon a subject, I imagine the different techniques that could be employed to evoke in the audience the same powerful impact that it gave me. Color and value are key in translating my ideas.  My work begins a statement that can be finished by the person viewing it.  I always use quality materials in creating a piece, but it is my passion for the process that hopefully is the essential element that sets it apart.
