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.
