As an artist I want to communicate visually and vibrantly the peace and serenity that I find in Nature, which I see as a visual and spiritual wonderland. I use my brush and palette knife to translate nature onto the canvas. I describe my dynamic compositions as a unique style of contemporary Impressionism with a bold use of color and texture."
