Like the world around us, my paintings are multi -layered studies of color, pattern, light and texture. Each painting begins with a vision or concept that evolves almost with a life of its own. Successive layers refine and articulate the voice of the piece. As layers are added, some details are obscured, some are sanded or scrubbed through and new ones appear. This process creates a multi-dimensional painting of depth and dimension, bold design and fine detail.

Although contemporary in style, old world details and architecturally reminiscent fragments are interwoven in my paintings. A unique blend of old and new is enhanced by the use of heavy dimensional texture, iridescent highlights, and metal leafs.

I believe that the power of art lies not within the artist alone but in a deeper collective vision where the world itself is viewed as a work of art. My aim is to ignite something in the viewer that sets off a resonance within, invites their attention and draws them inward. I am continually honored and excited that my collectors share my vision.

“Artists seek to overcome the boundaries of life, to gain a kind of eternity in their creative work amid the ephemeral days we humans pass together.”
