                       ARTIST'S STATEMENT


“I am interested in shapes, textures and colors which I use in the oil painting medium. My art is about my life and what I find beautiful and meaningful. I consider my work to be a diary of the places and people whom I share this time on earth. Therefore I am basically a realistic artist.”
