I am impressed by the essence or life force of a subject – the unique spirit that transcends time and space. I have been working for the past ten years, mostly with two predominant themes, dance and landscape. Dance is the passion and freedom of spirit, landscape is the physical embodiment of the spirit with which we can identify.
I paint for visual richness and intensity and I draw for spontaneity and intimacy. In uniting these styles, I attempt to convey my personal repose to the beauty and wonder of life in its infinite forms.
