Artist Statement
I create artifacts that are a compilation of many moments, moods, feelings translated into the formation of thousand of strokes, caresses and touches of paint on canvas. Mistakes, corrections and adjustments are evident as that is life. Reaching inside myself to profound philosophical moments I have lived through, memories and experiences I discover inspiration I can believe in.
