I not only love to create art but I have to. It's my identity, a core part of my being, an internal drive. It's my calm in a chaotic world.

Large scale landscape inspired abstract oil paintings.
Where do you find inspiration?In everything, in every moment but more specifically in the environment at those moments when I find a calm surrounding me.
What would you do with $25,000?I would take a trip first to Giverny to study the light and color of Monet and hopefully paint in his gardens after which I would travel through Italy and immerse myself in the landscape studying the light and color. I would visit the museums where the old world master painters by Ie: Raphael, Michaelangelo, DaVinci, Carravagio......live on and study their works as well. $25,000 would certainly allow me the length of time necessary to study all that I want to learn.
