My inspiration truly comes from those who are in my life, my family, and from the very private world I express within myself. I especially enjoy painting and sketching faces as the main focus of my work.
Expressionism in all of its manifestations ~ paintings prints photo essay sculpture poetry.
In my works I explore the motion of form, the written word, color and texture that are created with the recycled artifacts of my own life.
the main focus of my work is the human condition with all of its ups and downs and everything
in between. in fact the "in between" is what most interests me.
I learned from the Aesthetic Realism of Eli Siegel that photography has to do with the whole world,
and that the beauty it finds there has to do with our lives and how we hope to live them.
