Artist Statement:
Art is my life's passion and
my work is born from a
powerful desire to capture the
light, color and composition
of the objects and moments
that we all experience
everyday. My works are of
subjects that seem
unspectacular in life, my goal
is to intrigue the viewer to
experience the magic that may
have passed without notice.
My work owes much to the great
artists from the renaissance
to pop and contemporary art.
I have studied the masters and
been taught by the best to
bring superior technique to my
vision.
I hope you enjoy the work as
much as I have had creating
it....
