ARTIST STATEMENT My goal as an artist is to paint from life the way I see it. By translating my natural optimism into bright colors, wispy brush strokes and unified compositions, the result makes subjects look more pleasing than in reality. I try making what is typically uninteresting, enjoyable. I am richly blessed with an artistic ability, but I am nothing without my Creator. He is my ultimate inspiration and holds my big picture. To GOD be the glory! |
