Looking back at my life and the elements that have defined me, the one thing that stands out above all others is the deep-seated need to express myself through art. Art and the process of creation is the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing that fills my mind at the end of each day.

As an essentially self-taught artist, I have been able to find my own truths and artistic paths along the way. I am naturally curious and fervid when it comes to understanding new techniques, making the self-learning process a challenge I enjoy.

Today, I continue with a concentration on the use and application of the many creative software programs that advance creativity, such as digital and original paintings and mixed media collage art. I have found that having a comfort level and understanding of the computer and its sophisticated software has provided an added opportunity for artistic experimentation and problem-solving.
Through the years, I have studied printmaking, drawing, painting, and graphic design, and I feel fortunate to have had a very successful career in that extremely competitive field. While art is by nature intuitive and emotive, my process is quite straightforward. I approach each new piece knowing that it requires a correct set of elements bound together with creative resolve, with the ultimate goal being a perfected visual exposition. I am experimental to a considerable degree, but my guiding goal is to create with a combination of intuition and a clear sense of artistic balance.
