Painting has long been a constant in my life. What started as an academic pursuit has developed into a unique opportunity to present my impressions of the beauty and dignity of ordinary persons and scenes in everyday life. I find continued inspiration in eclectic themes that reflect the wealth of ideas, expressions and people that cross my path. Individuals who go about their routine with inherent nobility inspire me to rewrite their stories in art while still life and nature allow me to explore the many facets of my surroundings. I look forward to new vistas with my art as a constant traveling companion.
