I love to paint. My inspiration usually come from my imagination . I love the art style of fauvism and especially like the works of Henri Matisse.

I have painted all my life and have been represented by several local galleries. At this moment in time I mostly paint for my own enjoyment in my home studio.

I live in the southern state of Georgia USA. We experience many beautiful sunny days and I find it easy to be in a up lifted mood that reflects in my art work.
