My Medium
My Inspiration
My Background
I use many different mediums, such as oils, acrylics, water colors, pen and ink, sculptor and pastels. I believe that working in a single medium is restrictive to my artistic process. Each idea manifests in its own individual style. The use of color gives the world a glimpse of the unique spiritual consciousness within the artist.

My Inspiration
The inspiration of my artwork comes from nature that surrounds me as a blanket. It is then that we are able to hear what the soul has to say. My artwork sometimes does not reflect nature; it's a part of nature. The significance of my artwork deals with light, color and sound, the direct channel for the expression of soul.
