Artist Statement:
Every painting expresses to the viewer the personal feeling of the artist toward the subject. Like a signature, this expression is made individual by the use of line, shapes, stroke and color. Inspiration for my paintings come from the beauty of God’s creation and the contrasting refuge of man’s existence. The deteriorating structures of man contrast beautifully with the natural reclamation of this structure by the elements. The possibilities are endless.
