ABOUT THE ARTIST
STATEMENT
I am mainly a self taught artist who paints in many mediums and in a variety of styles. I have a large body of work including abstract and impressionistic. I am a colorist with love of abstract and color field paintings. Recently I have focused on landscape tonality paintings in oil and various other media. I love to paint and paint what I love. I believe art is powerful and can change one's life and the world.
