In each painting, capturing the true essence of my subject is paramount. I focus on creating a palatable, highly emotional moment that grasps the viewer. Using techniques derived from a lifetime of painting combined with an innovative perspective and intense level of detail, has resulted in a unique style that people love and appreciate. As a realist, it's gratifying for me to create a powerful portrayal of my subjects that alters one’s view. I challenge myself to make each painting better than my previous one. It certainly is a dream come true doing what I enjoy and love most.
