"Before I begin a piece, I put on some classical music and take a few moments to simple be with my subject. I search for what is essential, what is the essence of what is before me. Only then do I move forward to capture what I feel on canvas. Whether I reach for acrylics or oils, I find that I am consistently drawn to the figure, the power and beauty that it holds I find captivating. Using strong design, movement, and color, my process is spontaneous and intuitive. I allow things to happen to evolve. Excitement grows as I connect to the piece, adding energy and life until it is finished."
