Artist's statement:

For me, painting has become a way to express inner feelings with shapes, lines and color.  I find interest in painting abstract as much as I do drawing the human form.   What remains constant in all that I do, is the attempt to master illusion without making my paintings realistic for the human eye; but to feel an emotion, whether it be joyous or somber.

Sharp brushstrokes are obvious at times, while subtle lines disappear through the use of color.  The final conclusion in each painting is often the spectators opinion which inner mood is dominant throughout the aesthetic piece of art.

Blue rain greeting cards display my abstract and modern paintings, however the prose is with feeling, which I call, ‘comfort cards’.   The idea came about because I was tired of seeing the same old thing displayed in the stores, commercial cards with no thought of the human spirit and no mention of the Living God who gives us all hope in dire times.

Customers are welcome to come to my studio to view more paintings and purchase from there.
