| Artist Statement: | Painting is an emotional escape. A vivid dream, a surreal moment, an intense sensation, each and all will incite and inspire me to create. Using a variety of mediums, oils, chalk pastels, charcoal, pencil and drippings of water; I draw, I mix, I scratch until little by little through a fusion of strokes and colors the painting reveals my mood, feelings and emotions. |

| Artistic Influences: | My inspiration comes from such artists as Beckman, De Stael, Diebenkorn, and Kandinsky. I favor dense textures, vibrant colors and thoroughly saturated canvases. |
