ARTIST STATEMENT
“Painting is a never-ending learning process that challenges me every time I pick up a brush. I approach every blank canvas with fear and excitement. By relying on the basics of good drawing  skills and value and color, I try to convey not my feelings but the feelings of the day and the subject.”
