ARTIST STATEMENT

 Painting with palette knives is one of the feelings that always gives my soul powerful voice to communicate effectively with my audience and community in a positive manner, painting impasto is beyond application of thick layers of colors  and strokes to me, the more texture my impasto create the more it add positive value to the thinking of the viewer. 

WORK DIRECTION

My portfolio is reflective of a balance and tension between old and new. A love of impressionism and representational-ism yet a desire to explore contemporary themes results in vibrant transitional work. I have a strong internal drive to produce both small works/studies and larger exhibition and gallery sized works that represent the forefront of my work direction. Both new and established collectors will find work in my portfolio that suits their ambitions.

COLOR PALETTE

My work is not defined by color palette or subject, but rather by texture and gesture. You will find a broad array of subjects and color use in my paintings, which I find very liberating. However, one color keeps coming back to me as a signature and keeps finding its way subtly into my paintings. It's a color name that is known more by its aroma than chroma. Can you guess what it is? 

  ARTIST QUOTES

Seeing an artist work starting, you are seeing the beginning of madness that could tense you, and if you look at the end of an artist work you are seeing the end of the madness that will calm you.
