About the artist
I am a self taught artist. Who was given this talent by a higher spirit. During my childhood, my mother would encouraged me to express myself through music and the visual arts. At an early age, I began painting and drawing. As a young adult I sought a career as a fashion illustrator and attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York.
I reside in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where I have studied oil painting at the Banana Factory, under
William Christine, a local artist who has exhibited in New York City, Philadelphia, Washington DC and Allentown Art Museum. Through his tutelage, I was able to accomplish the understanding how oil paint can be manipulated, and how to create all colors by using five basic colors.
The unique style reflected in my paintings and photography derives from my love of what surrounds my everday life. Although, I seem to gravitate toward botannical matters, I love painting whatever captures my eye. When I find that particular subject which inspires me, I feel an energy to create immediately.
When I enter the studio and smell the oil paint, I get this excited heady anticipation in the pit of my stomach. Each painting is a new adventure. The painting unfolds before my eyes with each stroke of the brush across the canvas. The feel the amazement to see the creation finished is exhilerating. As I stated before, I am a matrix for the spiritual power that comes through my hands.
Constantly evolving in my artistic endeavors, I am always surveying my surroundings to capture my next subject which is just a blink away.
Thank you for visiting my website. I really enjoy sharing my artwork with you.
