“There is nothing more fascinating to me than when an artist can capture the essence of someone's spirit in a portrait.  It was my goal from a young age to be able to successfully render the human form and I spent the better part of my early art career focusing on perfecting my craft through a series of self-portraits.  Ultimately what was important to me was that the marks I left on the canvas tell a story and that you could feel the energy through my paintings long after I created them. 

The last several years I have focused on honing that energy in creating pure abstract paintings. The spontaneous energy behind each piece is a nod to the space I was in and who was there with me.  I am not looking to reproduce what is in front of me, but rather record the impression of the experience I had when I was there.“
