ARTIST STATEMENT
"My travels have left an indelible impression of the patterns and motifs that represent history, culture, and memories of my experiences. These have found their way into my art and are the impressions I want to capture and paint.
We are surrounded by varied patterns and motifs that become so much a part of the background that we fail to notice the beauty and interest they add. My work brings them to the forefront, a corner of a room that remains in my mind. A 'snapshot' of a time and place."
