I believe we are all artists by means of personal expression, whatever the venue it manifests itself in, we are put here on earth to discover what intriques us, explore the possibilities, create and grow. I'd rather not categorize my work as a certain style, like life it remains ever changing . There are so many great techniques of putting on paint that I don't wish to commit myself to only one way, it keeps the mind stimulated & fresh when you lift limitations and continue to experiment with new ideas. My approach to painting is intimately tied to my love of the human form and of nature. Seeing these things through my personal perception is what I want to share with others, if I can lift someone's spirits by sharing my paintings, then I have succeeded as an artist and communicating from the heart.

I am a self taught artist/painter, expressing myself through art is one of my greatest joys, it's a fascinating way to communicate the core of your individual human essence.

Admired artists include- William Bougereau, John Waterhouse and Henry Draper, Georgia O'Keeffe, and John Singer- Sargent.
