"My artistic will became apparent at the age of five when, much to my mother's dismay, I traded my new tap dance shoes for a box of Crayola Crayons. The joy of creating art has remained a life long endeavor. People are my passion for they tell the story. I approach each subject with senitivity and reverence, striving to paint their truth. Sexual orientation is not my focus, but rather the fundamental honesty and beauty of humanity. For the past years I have worked continuously and dauntlessly, never apologetically. I am steadily on the job so that I might find myself at the easel, brush in hand, when the great moment does arrive. There has been no end of surprises and delight, nor the need for stamina and courage. Beginnings have out numbered endings. My teachers have been many, materials varied. I belong to no school and will not adhere to any technique. Vincent Van Gogh said he wanted to make art that touches some people. That is my goal as well. Sexual Orientation is not my focus, but rather the fundamental honesty and beauty of humanity. People are my passion for they tell the story. I approach each subject with sensitivity and reverence, striving to paint the truth.
