"My works have a fluid moving feeling that leads you from one part of the image to the next. Occasionally I will paint hidden objects as well, which gives you additional pleasure while intimately viewing the artwork."

"My trademark for the last twenty years has been borders.  I take 

subjects from the center and make patterns to complement the main theme. At times, I will also paint over the framing mat, lending a sense of continual growth and profusion of color, much like nature itself."

           "Andrew Wyeth, an American contemporary realist painter, initially influenced my approach, igniting my passion to capture nature's emotion with paper and paint. Once, I received a request for a painting of nature, and as I painted, I became aware of my surroundings and the amazing details of color, shape, and texture that encircles us all. Today, it is nature's bounty and all it's wonders that are the soul of my work.
