I have always loved studying and experimenting with different styles of art.  I am always trying to explore new ways to express my subjects.  I enjoy painting with raw emotion and spontaneity.   I generally use bold, vibrant colors of oil, acrylic or pastels.  Often I employ the use of brush, palette knife and tube application which creates expressive texture.  The result is a unique painting style bordering between Impressionism and Abstract Expressionism.  And while I work from real subjects and photographs, my paintings often convey a fantasy or dreamlike quality.  I hope that the creative passion expressed in my paintings will bring joy and inspiration to others.
