Statement
My paintings are modeled on the simple principle of human observation and interaction. I paint what I feel. I believe that we are all connected and my painting are reflective of our world and how we live in it. My aim is to produce work that questions current issuses in a gentle and sometimes provoking way. The most important part of creating art is to give viewers visual and perhaps emotional pleasure.
