“The color and light on shapes are the relationships that interest me and spark my creative energy. I enjoy painting the beauty I find in everyday life around me including animals, still life, figures or landscape. I find I express myself through color and shapes much better than through words.

I favor an impressionistic approach in my work, in which a recognizable form is achieved, while at the same time the paint itself is celebrated and brushstrokes are not only visible but also intrinsic to the success of the piece. It is a conscious thought every day at the easel to keep it loose. My goal in painting is to experiment and enjoy the process. I feel this is what keeps me engaged and enables me to grow as an artist."
