My paintings usually revolve around the vast spectrum of human emotions, both good and not so good. I'm a bit of an Empath, so when I see the way people are treating other people, it hurts my heart. I'm not in a position to do much about it, so I express the frustration in my work. But I believe the goodness of humanity also needs to be appreciated. My fiberglass sulptures usually celebrate the animal and insect world, which is rapidly shrinking. Expose the bad, celebrate the Good.
