Give Pause, Refresh, Reflect, Renew

I paint representational works focusing on portraits, figures, city and nature scapes. I gravitate to subjects that I believe will encourage the viewer to give pause. I paint the essence of my subject as I perceive it.

My hope is that each piece I create will allow a person to take a moment to consider the subject and to be renewed through reflection, inspiration or humor. Life speeds past us. We rarely heed warnings to slow down, to enjoy, to contemplate, to reassess. My hope is that my art will assist the viewer to do just that.
