Hello

Improvement in one’s craft comes with experience and hard work, but inspiration is also
essential for the artist who wants to develop their talent to the fullest. My creative fire is kindled
by the people I meet. Making and sharing my work is as integral to my life as are eating and
sleeping.

The main catalyst for my endeavor is the joy that I experience and am able to share with others.
My creative fire is kindled by the people I have met in my travels to places like Mexico,
Honduras, and Ireland. Photography and painting have indeed filled my life – filled it with
endless visual excitement, as well as the challenge and satisfaction of capturing moments. It is a
way of being in the world, of participating in life. These two mediums are the celebration of the
events and wonder of life. People and landscapes are my favorite subjects, at home or abroad. To
see, react, and record is my continuous search with no shining end in sight except to go on
trying.

My loose, somewhat abstract approach to painting is my emotional response to events,
surroundings, and memories. I strive to make my art deliver a response, a summation expressed
in vibrant colors conveying an overall feeling.
