My style is a smooth and polished look of realism that is slightly naïve -- a reflection of what I see in my mind's eye. Because I am an idealist, I strive for balance and beauty since these qualities embody my ideals. I rejoice in giving in to my impulse to use vivid colors in my art. I am fascinated with details; I especially love intricate patterns, curlicues, windswept hair, and eyes. I am captivated with the human form which is the necessary basis of all my work. To me, a piece of art is most valuable to society when it can transcend real life through interpretation and inspire wonder and thought through beauty. I believe that good art is a necessary ingredient in human evolution.
