WELCOME TO MY WORLD

Just a welcome to my new website : a showing of the styles and choices I make with various mediums, tools, choices of colors and shapes and things to be.

My every day life is an adventure in creating new things

I choose to paint intuitively of recent after many years of exploration into what REALLY makes me want to create.

My intention is to make people feel happier in their environments by adding more aesthetics.

I invite feedback and comments from you by pressing on the contact page with a message.

My Art My Process

 

Some people ask me or wonder about my different painting styles and why I do so many different kinds of work. I don’t know how to reply in a way that makes any sense other than why should contemporary artists limit themselves to one look? I love Cirque de Soleil, dark chocolate, passion, fun, and making people laugh. I wonder how to find that special something that a friend really wants. How I can create something that makes someone feel such joy. I admire the design and style of Chanel, love people and clothing, am mad for color, and inventing new ways to express myself with paint and different mediums. A contemporary artist should be able to communicate in all sorts of ways and not be repetitive. Each piece is a new moment in time for me to capture the emotion. Why would I want to edit myself?

I am passionate about texture and one-sided about color combinations. I am definite about what I love. I know about war, famine, poverty, suffering, and failure in people’s lives. We see it all the time, so why put it in my art. Don’t we see it enough?  I know that the lives of people are sometimes complex, yet I also know that life is in fact so simple! So why can’t I have different styles to show the feelings and emotions of the things around me and use my abilities to paint to express my thoughts? Isn’t a contemporary artist supposed to be able to create relevant work that reflects emotions?

Since there is so much in this world that is so different why can’t I just paint pieces that bring joy to people. I hope you enjoy what you see and that what I create speaks to you.
