The greatest compliment I ever received was from one of
my Art Collectors. I will never forget
what he
said about my work, "Your paintings make me happy. I can look at
them over and over again, and feel uplifted." His compliment embodies
my goal for creating Art. There is nothing more I want in this world
than to bring joy to people through my work.
My inspiration comes from places I have fallen in love
with from all over the world. Each painting I create is a reflection
of where I long to be. In a world of growing uncertainty, it is important
for me to provide the viewer a momentary escape from reality. In my work,
I strive to incorporate the rare diamonds I see in nature and bottle
them up for the whole world to stop and take notice.
The miracles of this world will never cease to amaze me.
If I pick a poppy and experience its beauty, I can sense an essence so
vast that it opens up a universe to me. I paint with colors and textures
that seem to me just as beautiful as a poppy. The vibrant reds, cool
blues, lush greens, and brilliant yellows, found most dominantly in my
work, reflect an intense energy that is both positive and uplifting.
In essence, Art should rejuvenate the soul. It should uplift
the heart and bring peace to the mind. This world is a beautiful place
and it is my goal to bring to light the utopias I find most precious
for the enjoyment of others.
