My Process
“I am drawn to very heroic subjects who have overcome adversity ; showing their power and courage and inner strength, they are the catalysts of everyday living. Whether I paint a bird, or a specific subject, I try to paint it as if it was totally free and authentic to its nature. This is expressed in a very impressionist way with bold brush strokes and a bright and lively color story. My goal is to uplift my viewers and allow them to realize the true nature of the subject.”
