Artist Statement
“As a Fine Artist, painting is my absolute favorite category. My career started as a portrait artist and my style is photo-realism. I like having the ability to “recreate” an already existing image. However, I have developed a passion for abstract images. I love the challenge of creating images that have never been seen before, an image that has been created by my inner spirit… something I can truly claim as my own.”
