Artist's Statement

My paintings are reflections of simple moments experienced in life and nature, captured as compositions of light, color, patterns and brushstrokes. Oil is my preferred medium, however I like to utilize various mediums, depending on the moment I’m capturing. It brings me pleasure when my artwork enriches the lives of others.

Drawing has always been my passion. Kansas artists, Jim Hagan and Elmer Tomasch, mentored me at the university level. I continually participate in various creative workshops to expand my skills and explore new mediums.
