Artist Statement

I do not do art because I can, but because I must. As a tool of awareness, I am driven to record all the sights and sounds around me. Every art is a sister to every other art; all having the same elements and discipline. I choose to depict musical themes as it allows me to use freedom of a loose expression on more than one level. My compositions are of rhythmic action and movement. The known artists are of our time; our history now. Many of the characters live in my imagination, I add water and they flow out on to paper.

Robert Henri, says every artist is a Master of that which he has now. My studio is my world. I listen to the music that speaks to me now. I face a large white sheet of paper and I daringly explore where no man has gone before.
