Artist Statement:
What we choose to paint, how we paint it, and the medium we use are all personal choices that provide uniqueness and individuality in our work. Art reflects the world around us. It can represent a moment in time, a message, or an expression of feeling. What makes any particular work of art interesting is the degree to which we can see the intention of the artist or understand the depth of his message or better yet, just feel. Ultimately, however, our art is a reflection of ourselves.
