About The Artist

About The Artist - I once saw a painting by Matisse that was so beautiful, it moved me to tears. My perception of colors and beauty became so much more alive at that very moment. It was an utterly fantastic experience that changed my life. This is the magic and beauty of art. I mainly paint in an abstract impressionistic style, which is a spontaneous flow of creation. When it's not planned, it's fun to see where it goes and it stays exciting. It's like going out to play when you were a kid... when you didn't know what you were going to do, but you knew you would have fun.
