​

" Art is a journey. Each piece, the product of a lifetime of seeing, feeling, traveling, listening and absorbing. I paint to express myself, my opinions and observations, and, through my work bring a new perspective to those who observe it."

 

" I am honored to have studied art and worked with brilliant creatives, absorbed and gained from these experiences. I have listened to advice (good and ill-advised), travelled the world and surrounded myself with creativity and creative people.  As an artist I have been given the opportunity to visually reimagine and expand upon the nuances of my experiences."

 

" Art is a place I can go, free of time and boundaries."
