I believe that I am very fortunate to have passion of creating and was blessed by a gift. Painting is a physical and emotional necessity for me. From a deep concern for the state of our planet to the beauty of the simple objects, there is no mundane subject matter. I strive to preserve the joyful and innocent view of the world that children have, their feeling of passion and splendor. Through the colors and textures of my work, I hope to engage the viewer and draw 
out a sense of wonder . My inspiration comes from within; I am still somewhat surprised by what moves my hand toward the canvas, what touches my soul and makes my heart skip a beat.
