bio: I am a self-taught artist and have been an abstract painter for three years. After drawing portraits for many years, I found the need to express myself outside the bounds of figurative realism. Although it was my initial intention only to use abstraction as a means to familiarize myself with paint before returning to realism I have found great delight in the abstract.
on the importance of art:

"For me art’s primary responsibility is beauty. In my paintings color, form, and movement are emphasized without the constraint of specificity in order to create an isolated world of harmony. This allows the viewer to conceive their own intimate connection with the piece."
