Animals, particularly wild animals, have a sense of themselves that is unique. They look directly at the world, confident of their place. They have a sense of self without self-doubt.

My work is an exploration of color, value and form with representational subject matter.

I use the juxtaposition of positive and negative shapes along with color and value contrast to form a composition based loosely on the tenets developed by the early Baroque painters in Holland known as the Dutch Little Masters.
