"My goal as an artist is to convey the joy of life through my artwork"

"Whether I paint a landscape, seascape, or an abstract, I try to impart more than just a color that will match your decor: within each painting is a positive vibe that will hopefully put a smile on your face, take you away to a faraway land, or simply welcome you home after a tough day.

My theory is, surround yourself with positive energy, and you can be sure that it will project through you! If your surroundings are dull and un-inspiring, you will always seem to lack that pep to your step. On the other hand, pick out a painting or two that catches your eye. Something that reminds you of the good moments of life- you can't go wrong!"

A self-taught artist, AJ's works range from realism and impressionist to surrealism on canvas and wood supports. His mediums include charcoal, pencil, pastels, acrylic and oil paints.
