I am a color enthusiast; secondary to subject matter or medium, I am drawn to illustrate the bold values and exciting color combinations I observe in the world around me. Whether it is the golden glimmer in the chimpanzee’s eyes or the brilliant rainbow hues on beach inner tubes, the attraction is the same to me - a fascinating array of colors and patterns. My source of inspiration is endless, as the world's palette and designs are continually changing - as fluid as the paint itself. My greatest satisfaction as an artist is when someone studies one of my paintings and then says, “I see what you mean. I never noticed that until now."Mission accomplished.
