My eyes are my lens to our world. My camera, my paintbrush, my computer and the other mediums that I use to create my work are merely an extension of that lens; a tool that gives my audience a glimpse of the world I see. My art is based on my philosophy on life; to never take anything for granted. I am inspired by the splendor that surrounds me and I am dedicated to documenting what I see. I gravitate towards photography and painting because I feel that they give me an artistic freedom unmatched by any other media. Photography allows for a quick glimpse of a changing world while painting lets me emphasize my impression of it. My challenge is for my audience to grasp the same intense reaction that I experience while making the work. My ultimate goal is that they can feel the same deep connection.
