“Through my paintings I have tried to create a feeling of the beauty that I see all around me in nature. Sometimes I do it in an abstract or semi abstract manner . But the important thing I feel is to use colors to express different emotions. This is the guiding force of my work and it comes from my deepest inner feelings. I want to share that excitement with others through the paintings that I do. With the hope that the viewer can enjoy and be moved as I have.”
