“I paint a variety of subjects, but choose them all for the same reason….I paint what attracts me emotionally and strive to capture and communicate that feeling to others in my artwork. My approach is very much the same whether the subject is trees, a figure, or birds. I want the subject to be realistic and natural and then add more expressive elements of color, design and brushwork. I hope that people choose art that speaks to them emotionally. If its going to be part of your home, it should make you feel good or smile when you see it. That’s what art is for!”
