Artist Statement and Bio

My work is an outward reflection of my inner world. Nature in all its abundance and beauty is my muse and feeds my soul. I am a colorist at heart with a fascination for color relationships and the emotions the combos evoke. There always is a gap between vision and what can be conveyed by the artist’s hand. I am constantly chasing that vision which keeps me exploring and trying new mediums and techniques.
