“As life can be stressful and complicated, I enjoy depicting the 'Lighter Side of Life' using bright, complimentary colors. I want my paintings to make people smile and feel an emotional lift while viewing them. I started out with portraits and more realistic themes but now I am drawn to abstract or whimsical  themes to express the joy of living.”
