Artist Statement

Each of my pieces speaks out in a different way to communicate it’s central meaning. My portraits attempt to capture the soul of my models, while my personal paintings illustrate a premeditated story, often with roots in ancient mythology. My goal is to engage the spirit of beauty, the mind and heart of the viewer and, pass the creative torch to inspire others.
