Artist Statement:
A year and some months into
life, I didn’t know how to
walk. Ironically, I did
know something special about
drawing. Looking back, I
probably didn’t have the time
or interest to learn how to
toddle as I was too busy
developing a more important
skill.
ART.
Paper and crayons filled my
first toy box even before I
could walk past it. My
interest has only evolved and
that grown-up toy box remains
s
My style today tends to
combination of tight and
realistic representation with
a painterly approach and
impressionistic touch that add
passion and motion to the
final pieces. tocked with art
supplies supporting my passion
and way of life.
I pursued my interest in Art
studying first at the
University of Oregon and then
completing my education at the
Pacific Northwest College of
Arts, where I received a
Bachelor of Fine Arts degree
in Illustration, with a strong
emphasis on Painting and
Graphic Design.
The paintings shown here are
inspired by people I’ve met
and places I’ve seen during my
travels in Bulgaria, France &
US in the last year. ...
