Creativity is a changing, never-ending journey of discovery and expression.  The scientist in me travels a path of experimentation and discovery; the artist in me uses those discoveries to experience my full potential in relation to this vast world, to find my voice, and to add something new and beautiful to the world. 

If indeed everything is part of a whole, then art is the tissue that connects us.  Whether we are creators or collectors, art speaks to us all, touching our deepest core, communicating unuttered, often ineffable, feelings.  I am compelled to express myself through art because of its capacity to reveal, communicate, inspire, and transcend. 

Within the world of art, I seek no particular niche; I want to explore the whole horizon, and this is characteristic of my history.  It seems to me I stand at a crossroads in an exciting new world where digital art meets classical realist painting and drawing, and I approach the art world from a nontraditional route. With each new artwork, I seek fresh challenge.  If I have been able to express the very nature of what compels me when I look upon something—if I can reach the "aha!" moment—then I rarely choose to revisit that process or depiction.  I move on.  So you won't see in my body of work 100 variations on a theme.  You will find, however, a connective tissue that weaves between my landscapes and portraits, my prints and my pastels, my figurative as well my nonrepresentational works: beauty as it speaks in all its languages; light in its many aspects of magic and revelation; color in its varied abilities to touch, move, and transform.
