Artist Statement
The subject matter of my figure and still life paintings communicate my deep love and
respect for nature and life. Some paintings stem from a joy or narrative that is from my
own experiences. Other pieces reflect the simple beauty I find in everyday objects
composed together. I have focused on developing my craft to capture the beauty of what
surrounds me with precision and clarity; and strive to convey that to all people through
the universal language of representational art. It is my desire that when others see my
work they may be inspired by the perceptible signs of the real Creator.
