Artist Statement

I gravitate towards painting scenes of quiet moments with strong use of light and shadow. These are images that I may see on early morning runs, midnight snacks in the kitchen or simple observations of everyday scenes. I find inspiration in everyday life. What motivates me to create is a connection with the viewer who can relate and share a similar feeling from common scenes that are actually special moments.
