Artist’s Statement
Painting is like breathing for me. I have painted for as long as I can remember. Although the focus is continually changing the goal is simply to become a better painter. The work I am currently focused on, is combining the images in my sketchbook with my love of textured abstract compositions. I am quite fond of the sorts of birds living in south Florida, which have come up again and again in my sketchbook, as I have traveled to Miami to visit my brother many times in the last 12 years. These birds have so much character, I am still having fun using them to speak with my voice.
