Artist Statement
My work captures the modern world with bold transformative colors; my aim is to use distinctive subject matter in an unusual point of view. Inspired by nature and local foliage, I emphasize the styles of semi-impressionism and abstraction. Viewers should be captivated by the startling play on color schematics.
