A Note from the Artist

In the creative world, authentic expression as an individual is what separates

one artist from another.  I paint experiences and my own expressions of life,

from inside and outside of my studio. It's important for me to paint this way. 

A history of work has more to do with an artist's longevity and productivity,

and less to do with an artist's intent or meaning. Those who know me encouraged me to include the obligatory resume in my biography because it lends credibility to our endeavors, but my career wasn't about achievement. To me, it was about communicating with art. I wasn't interested in awards or acceptance into societies, I was just grateful to be working with creative, meaningful people.
I've never taken a "selfie", I'm not comfortable with the concept. 

Likewise, my work is not about me, it's about the everything that is beyond me,

because that is where my inspiration is found.
My intent is to communicate my inspiration in thanks and praise

for this existence we all share.
