Statement
I focus on quirky or candid subjects in painting and printmaking.
I am drawn to the curve, and organic lines, and color.
I aim to represent place through subject and feel.
Art is interactive and giving. It invites you to connect to the subject, or to other people. It should give you a moment of beauty, or a fresh thought.
