ARTIST STATEMENT “This body of work is a combination of still life, diptych and narrative paintings. Some depict real experiences. Others are inventions. Several are based directly on memories of my father.

As a lifetime student, I strive to see more deeply and speak more clearly.

Using traditional painting techniques, I attempt to express emotion and create a contemporary statement. Hopefully, the viewer will find common ground with these everyday images.”
