Artist Statement:
“I have always loved the fine arts. During the past decade, I've made a committed-personal investment in creating art. My strongest artistic influences have been the Impressionists. They were the first to rebel against the traditional model of realism, giving permission to break the rules to all that followed. I express my independence with the application of conte, charcoal, acrylics, oils and pen and ink. At this moment in time, I've earned the personal and professional freedom from the obligations that we all share. This reality encourages me to approach my craft with youthful curiosity as well as a willingness to learn. Blend that with adult sensitivity and a deep respect for the disciplined detail essential for creation.”
