Statement
My
art education began by studying the works of famous
artists in galleries across Europe. Working largely
on my own instinct, I began painting seriously in
1996. As my passion for art grew and my work progressed,
I sought out focused and intensive art instruction.
Using
every spare moment to experiment with techniques,
concepts, mediums, supports, and locales I try to
create moving, interesting and exciting visual experiences.
I paint weekly (during the season)en plein air with
the Plein Air Painters of the Treasure Coast as I
enjoy the challenge of working outdoors as well as
the fresh air and the opportunity to be in Florida’s
beautiful natural environment.
I
hope you enjoy my work. Just being able to share it
with you represents the attainment of a dream for
me. |
