​Artist Statement

I have been drawing and painting for the better part of my entire existence. What began purely as an interest very early on, quickly developed into a passion and eventually a career, art became my life's pursuit! As both an illustrator and oil painter, I focus on a range of diverse subjects in my work, covering everything from landscapes, to portraits, to still-life compositions, exploring form, color and contrast, resulting in vibrant, visually striking works of art.

My process begins with an idea or an inspiration triggered by an interesting visual, a conversation or an idea plucked from my own imagination. My ever-expanding list of subject matter is endless and in some cases certain ones simply have to make it onto the canvas, while others never do. It is a selection process which tends to play out on it's own.
 
As for the actual mechanics of my work, my training as an illustrator has instilled in me a degree of precision and realism that is never completely attainable but always improving. With this in mind, I paint and sketch in a relatively free-flowing form until the desired results are achieved.
 
In the end, it's always been first and foremost about the art for me. Going forward, my goal is to further explore the world through my paintings and my illustrations. I hope to convey moods, feelings, and expressions that people can connect with, relate to, and ultimately appreciate.
