Artist Statement
I believe that creating, or being able to appreciate art in any of its many forms, is one of the most rewarding experiences that a person can have. That is why I paint.

I believe that creating, or being able to appreciate art in any of its many forms, is one of the most rewarding experiences that a person can have. That is why I paint.
Although my preferred medium is oil on canvas, I like to experiment with other materials that may complement the subject of my paintings. I enjoy exploring different themes and using a variety of techniques, always searching for new and interesting interpretations of allegorical and sometimes whimsical concepts.
My style is contemporary and includes a broad spectrum of subjects that reflect the diversity of our social and physical environment. I am inspired by images of everyday life, including current events, people's behavior, abstract impressionism, or figurative representations.
As an artist, I hope that no matter how detailed or abstract my paintings may be, the viewer will experience some emotion beyond the surface of my images.
