My digital paintings spring forth from an extensive background in classical fine art media. Contemporary, and yet intensely romantic, they explore the spirit path through the sensual self. Images of earth's beings; people, animals and nature, collect in my minds eye and are mixed with feelings and moods. Before embarking on a work, I put aside the mental so that I may create what I feel. Joy, contemplation, sexuality and playfulness are some of the emotions reflected in the shapes, colors and textures that I choose. My desire as an artist is to excite the imagination of my audience and inspire a soulful yet passionate vision of the natural world.
