Painting is a source of great personal pleasure for me as well as a way to connect with others and to the world around me. I work in transparent and opaque watercolor, gouache and oil. I like to paint cityscapes and the figure in everyday settings. I paint in a representational manner, focusing on color, shape and design rather than a realistic portrayal of my subject. It is important to me to experiment with different media and subject matter in an effort to continually to grow as an artist.
