ARTIST'S STATEMENT
I find tremendous harmony, beauty and depth of feeling in classical work, and I believe that art with these attributes uplifts individuals and enriches a society. I strive to achieve those qualities in my own work, and in my portraits and figures I seek to discover the timeless nature of the human spirit. While these things are lifelong endeavors, the journey is endlessly exciting and one lifetime never seems enough to explore all that is possible.

I feel grateful and extremely fortunate to be able to dedicate my life to the making and teaching of art. I hope you enjoy my work, and that in some small way it inspires you to pursue your dreams.
