artist statement

❦

❝Art is both love and friendship and understanding: the desire to give. It is not charity, which is the giving of things. It is more than kindness, which is the giving of self. It is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light of the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit. It is a recreation on another plane of the realities of the world; the tragic and wonderful realities of earth and men, and of all the interrelations of these.❞

—Ansel Adams

I'm an oil painter of the impressionist genre, but I like to describe my works as representational, because i believe that nothing is absolute. I hope you enjoy my paintings as much as I enjoy painting them.

la dolce vita!
