In the last couple of years a series of events have inspired this collection of works. One of which involved a recently discovered family member. This person, on learning that I was an artist, much like himself, sought out me before his passing, to learn and share his love and passion for art. My brief, yet profound experience of getting to know one another, led to such inspiration and meaningful impact for me, as well as the love and shared passion for art. I hope to continue to honor the brief moments and dreams of this relationship – that now last a lifetime in my work. I now infuse this new experience into my work daily in my studio. With this new collection I bring to light the aperture and focus of what the eye sees, and introduces it with everything that the heart feels and needs to express. Many times my works are a personal reflection of emotions coming from a place or things remembered. This allows me to take a personal journey back to a given memory and bring it forward onto the canvas. I approach my work with energy and brisk intentions. Movement and action is sometimes left spontaneously on the surface. With oils and acrylic, along with palette knives, brushes and my hands, the moments that life gives us are brought forward in a rich vibrant thick texture of emotion.ÊI’m mostly inspired by capturing moments of simplicity. Whether it be in the movement of a branch or the stillness and strength of a tree alone in a landscape horizon. I find myself enamored by the life that surrounds me.
