artist statement

there is no limit to what a human spirit can feel. the depth and power of some extraordinary emotions can propel us into places where colors, space and time take on a whole new and significant meaning. my paintings come from that world, communicating values that make a difference in our communities- values such as optimism, the appreciation of beauty, caring, sharing regardless of religion or race. my involvement with such organizations as the american heart association, the march of dimes, first place school for homeless children, reflect my strong belief in helping the community. my paintings come from a world where the mystery, the vitality and the brilliance of life, the love of being and the need to rise above the norm prevail.
