" I have always had a fascination with birds and use them frequently in my paintings from the real to the imagined. They lead much separate lives from ours yet exist in the same space, in a whole other dimension with a separate reality. They seem to bring hope of something more than we can know and seem to understand things we don't."

My works of women are inspired by the styles and
attitudes of all women. I try to capture the gestures and moods that are fashioned in a look that crosses all cultural and social restraints seeking to find the true internal phenomena of the feminine. In each piece I hope all of us can find something of ourselves and the women we love.
