Abstract Art Lens

Color is a language...

I approach painting as a visual form of music. I see color as the notes, the way the colors

mix and blend as the harmony and the brushstrokes as the rhythm.

Using color and brushstrokes to invent a language of my own, I try to connect with people in ways

that can't be done with words or images. I think the best way to view my work is not to ask "what is it?",

but to ask yourself... how does it make you feel?

I'm often asked "why do you paint, how do you paint, what inspires you and what are you trying to say

through your work?". I paint purely by instinct, as if... I hold the brush, God moves my hand.

I'm inspired by everything from God and mathematics to the philosophy of Ayn Rand, my family,

friends and all those who have been and continue to be an important part of my life.

I believe that art should reach deep within us to touch our heart and soul, to evoke memories and

emotions, to remind us of our hopes and dreams, to reflect our fears.

If anything, I hope my work inspires you to look within yourself, to see the possibilities that exist within

all of us and to make the most of those possibilities, no matter what your possibilities might be.
