Personal Statement
2004:
“Luck is when preparedness meets opportunity.”
2001: “ Pastels: painting
with pure pigment. Direct and dirty!”
1998: “Being the artist and
creating a painting is only half of the aesthetic process. I trust the
viewer to bring their half to the experience and come along for the ride.” |
