Artist's statement

"To me, a painting has to capture the drama and personality of the subject.

"My current passion is painting animals in water. I love the abstract quality of reflections, shadows and the pulse of the sea.

"To some, art may be a hobby, a passion or even a career, for me art is my life. I take pride in every piece I produce and strive to learn and perfect my technique as I continue to explore the natural world around me."
