Objective

To create thought provoking art that is both pleasing to the eye and the mind.

Why do artists create the things they do? Not too many ask why an artist paints a landscape or flowers or a beautiful person Clearly, everyone sees beauty in different things or circumstances. But an artist sees it where others might not, even in the most mundane. For my own work I often choose to paint those things that I think should be given a second glance, ordinary things that come alive when you shine a light on them. Each painting has its own life and meaning. That meaning for the artist is not going to be the same for the viewer as we are all different. How I feel about a painting I have created changes over time, but the reason I started it remains always the same - to make something beautiful and express strong emotional content, to share with others the way I see the world and objects of life.  Finding the meaning of each piece of art is a journey into the artist’s soul not easily put into words, but that is why I am a painter and not a writer.
