Statement
"Painting is the only way I can communicate my artistic spirit to the world. I'm greatly influenced and nostalgia driven by nature and her naturally abstract themes.Being faithful to my images allow me to gain insight into my work and in turn gives me a better perspective and understanding of my surroundings. As an artist and conscious observer, I strive for an abstract, realistic simplicity in my work. I'm forever interested in capturing the fleeting essence of each subject that has an element of truth and personal relevance for me. My goal is to show not just what I see and feel, but what I want my viewers to see and feel. First and foremost, 'm true to myself and ultimately I want to inspire my viewers." |
