I want my paintings to provide an insight to what we see personally inside and within ourselves.  Many elements of my work now shift from a background of graphic advertising design into a focus on a "close-up" and personal approach to a theme or subject, and to build an emotional response to the painting.  The cycle of life in nature, creation and the inside spirit, are all concepts that I have found interesting and inspirational.  I work to create a  journey into the possibilities of the human soul and spirit. That painting process could be as simplified as the peaceful blooming of a flower or as complex as the imagery of what is conceived as death.  I want to lead others to see what is beyond the logic and to see what can be felt emotionally within.
 
My creative process often begins with nature and a response to the natural steps of life.  Within each painting as I find a close connection with our own life cycle and in dealing with texture, repetition, pattern, color and shape, I seek to establish a message within the painting to bring a specific mood to surface.  With each individual viewing my paintings,  I want each to interpret and to feel their own cognitive and emotional message and to have a definite meaning known and revealed only to themselves.
 
With the layering of what may be intuitive thoughts from the subconscious, I look for an interpretation of the subject matter that I paint to provide further contemplation of all life around us and to accept the cycle of life in all phases, especially human.
 
Using sometimes the impact of a color or possibly detailed texture, I like to paint images juxtaposed with what is believed and what is theory, what is reality and what is imagined, and especially what is "felt" with all of us.
