Nothing can hold the interest of viewers of art in quite the same way as the expression of the human face and form, except perhaps, the human’s pets.

I’ve been painting portraits and figures since I first put brush to canvas.  Nothing has intrigued me as much as the human face and form.  I am inspired by the model or sitter and by the musical rhythm and personality they radiate. By using paint and emotion together, I am attempting to infuse feeling and artistic expression into my paintings.  Although I have painted in a traditional style from the start, I am trying to bring my imagination and vision into the 21^st century.  Pastels bring the most immediate freeing of my visual expression, but oils allow me the opportunity to dig more deeply and translate the immediate vision in to one that feels of historic and weighty significance.
