Artist Statement:

“My paintings are a rejection of our societies’ collective illusion. They reject the accepted norms that it is right and only proper that we live our lives bowed in fear. rarely reaching our full potential or achieving our dreams. 

My paintings are a manifestation of ideas, meditations and impressions taken from the beauty of the everyday. Sculpted in light and shadow, they are a celebration of life and all its possibilities.”
