"My inspiration to paint comes from
everything around me: the marriage between light and dark and how they coincide
side-by-side always present to each other, yet completely separate like a
husband and wife, Mother Nature's color palette and how brilliant it is; how
expressive nature can truly be. I love trying to capture the beauty beheld by
this earth. The fundamental things in life are what inspire me: strong emotions,
life events, thoughts, children, the history of the human race and our beliefs,
the earth, imagination, fantasy, life, death, pain and grief. I will continue to
experience the relationships between colors and how they co-exist in nature, how
they play amongst each other in the sun or absence of... and in a painting. Art
is of great relevance in every aspect of my life and its performance."
