ARTIST’S STATEMENT: I generally paint every day from a place of solitude and quiet allowing myself to connect deeply and emotionally with my chosen subject. I am motivated by compassion to create something larger than pretty with a deeper more profound connection to humanity. Whether I’m painting the Orwellian pigs, street pigeons, portraiture or scenic moments from personal travel, my goal is to have the viewer feel the deep emotional connection that I paint from but which resonates deeply from their own personal connection and experience.
