Artists Statement:
Finding fresh inspiration has never been a problem for me, because I don’t dissipate energy in competitiveness or seeking approval. It’s an ongoing quest to perfect what I love most, painting – and, of course, the wife and cat.
I believe this is why I have a good collector base. I work hard at making my technique, color and feeling seem simple by focusing on the important parts of the painting.
