Art is a strong force … a passion that drives me to create.

As an artist I become excited by thoughts, emotions and ideas. Shapes, sounds, color, people, music and events flash through my mind and instantly become the object of my attention.

My studio … the blank canvases, my old beat-up easel, the jars of brushes, tubes of paints and found objects add to my excitement and seem to become an extension of my hands.

When I begin to create the adrenaline rush drives me forward. Things complex, simple, funny, deep and unknown often surface. Then somehow during this creative process, the artwork seems to come into existence on its own.Art is my life’s work, my purpose. It is an intense addiction that awakens my senses and allows me to rise above the norm … to remove all else from my life … and to hopefully communicate with the viewer.
