Artist Statement:
As a figurative colorist painter, I seek to portray scenes and images that are
memorable to the mind. I do this by first drawing and then suddenly illustrating subjects that are memorable to me on various substrates and in
various mediums. By using a technique I call “ transfusion” I take a drawing and transform it into a memorable painting. Many viewers of my
Art have complimented on my use of colors. My motto is “Art that pleases
the senses.”
