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!
