Artist Statement:
Artist Statement
I create paintings,
sculptures, and constructions.
Bright colors, swirling
figures, and vibrant energy
characterize my paintings.
Generally, my paintings depict
my personal history and my
surroundings. I paint from my
heart, and express a little
hope and happiness in all of
my creations. I paint the
struggles of my fellow humans
to strive for their dreams,
the things that some of us
take so lightly yet so many in
this world do not have. I am a
romantic at heart and envision
a future world where we will
all live in peace, harmony,
and abundance.
