Artist’s Statement

            I have always been interested in art history, visiting museums and reading about art and artists.  Now that I am also painting, I am intrigued by color and design.  Through my art, I try to express my own feelings and experiences as best I can.  I also try to communicate to the viewer my love for mixing and trying out new colors as well as the beauty and natural design I observe in nature and architecture.  The way light falls upon objects and creates patterns and beautiful shadows fascinates me and I humbly attempt to capture these colorful effects in my paintings.
