Artist’s Statement….

"A born optimist, my oil paintings are naturally colorful.  I use expressive brush strokes to liberally interpret landscapes and
architecture . Colors breathe beauty and happiness to the often overlooked sights around me.  . I portray a  “glance” at our world, a
“snippet”, fresh and unlabored,  a scene that is fleeting, familiar and memorable."
