What inspires me?  I get inspiration from nature, architecture, music and the colors we see everyday.  It's the colors and the lighting that give life to me and my work.   My goal and my passion is to create a piece of art that takes you in, and generates emotions through the dramatic effects of colors that catch the eye, and the subject that captures the heart.

My paintings are living extensions of myself that you can take home in spirit when viewing a work in an exhibition; or that you can admire from your own living space whenever you want to satisfy a need for the "feeling" that art conveys.  I view art similarly to that of the still life artist, Giorgio Morandi.  He said, "A sincere artist is not one who makes a faithful attempt to put on to canvas what is in front of him, but one who tries to create something which is, in itself, a living thing."
