My greatest hope is that you feel connected to my work. Ultimately, my abstract paintings are emotion. Each one is uniquely created to bring a particular type of energy to the spaces they occupy. Seaside color palettes can relax and calm; bold and bright abstract cityscapes can enliven and energize. Everyone can have their own unique experience with the paintings. How my paintings make you feel and what memories they bring to mind is what makes them special for you.
