artist statement

Painting is entirely for my pleasure and fulfillment. I am driven to create images on canvas and paper. It is something that I cannot stop. It is like breathing – it is a required part of my existence. It’s who I am and it’s part of my soul. To be able to create a story, an action, an image, is a wonderful passion to have. When the brush goes into my hand, something takes over and I am lost in the creative process. I believe it is a gift from God. I want the viewer to be able to appreciate the beauty of nature and animals so perhaps they will understand how important it is that each of us must do our part to try to preserve the environment for their habitat. Being a wildlife artist allows me to give back and donate money, prints and original paintings to various animal and environmental causes.
