"My art is as much an expression of my own inner life and my own struggle to maintain equilibrium as it is about my observations of the world around and its people. The passion I feel while creating comes from my core and has always been the driving force in my life.
"My paintings acknowledge our common need to greater awareness, to observing more, to feeling more. I intend that my work contribute my best efforts to this process of our collective awakening. My vocation as a painter is to counter the atmosphere of superficiality that prevails in a culture that accepts what is easy, that celebrates the banal, that forgets the past.
"My work covers a wide variety of subjects, but what remains consistent throughout is a deep love and respect for beauty and nature. It is intuitive and highly symbolic and the direction it takes each time is often surprising, even to me."
