Artist Statement
I paint what pleases me or what touches me. And I paint from the heart.
Many things happen only once in life, and when they happen, they may only last a short time. I feel fortunate that I could capture many of those moments with my camera. Once I take the picture, I cannot wait to transfer the memory to my canvas. Using the photograph as reference point, I relive those moments, feeling what I felt before and express it all on the canvas. When the painting is finished, I feel that I have unselfishly shared my inner feelings with the world.
