The paintbrush is an extension of my heart. It is the instrument that I use to create colorful visual adventures. My paintings are planned purposefully and executed intuitively, employing the unique qualities of water-based pigments.
Landscapes, flowers, architectural structures and life experiences provide inspiration for my artistic expression. Ultimately my process is only a means to an end, which is to create work that lifts the spirit and takes the viewer on a joyful journey.
