My Story

When I'm not sketching, drawing and or painting, I enjoy swimming, hiking and playing tennis. I have always had a passions for nature based compositions. I like to focus on the simplification of nature and natural environments. Some compositions have lost all representationalism becoming completely abstract. I feel artwork should transcend the creator and the viewer. It should evoke an aesthetic response not just because of what it represents but because of its own sentient existence. An exchange should occur between the artist, artwork and the viewer, sometimes pleasant and sometimes not so pleasant.
