Besides painting, there is almost nothing I like better than traveling and seeing the various parts of the world.  I photograph what I like best, to help me remember the feelings, colors and inspiration that envelope me when I experience the sights and sounds of an experience.  Then, using my memory and the photographs I have taken, I want to recreate it on canvas for others to share.  A photograph is impersonal while painting is a very personal, sensual expression.  Mountains, water, a perfect flower, or different cultures are inspiring for representational or abstract art.  Creating art is a spiritual experience for me as I try to represent my feelings through color and design.
