"Before I begin a piece, I put on classical music, and take a few minutes to simply be with my subject. I search for what is essential, what is the essence, of what is before me. Only then do I move forward, to capture what I feel on canvas."
"Whether I reach for acrylics or oils, I find that I am consistantly drawn to the figure. The power and beauty it holds, I find captivating."
"Using strong design, movement, and color, my process is spontaneous and intuitive. I allow things to happen, to evolve. Excitement grows, as I connect to the piece, adding energy and life until it is finished."
