The joy of living is about delighting in something. 


Aside from the obvious - family and friends - my most delightful delight is color.  I am addicted to color.  Color is my drug, my drink, my spiritual food and my passion. 


If the truth be told, there’s not a sighted human being who is not affected by color because it speaks a universal language.  Color is powerful.  It’s everything... it’s my life.


I think of my work as a dance, where my hand, the paper and the pigment flow together.  I want my paintings to evoke emotions, and transport the viewer to a special place.  I want the audience to feel the atmosphere upon seeing the colorful vista that fades into the horizon.  That’s my landscape. 

  
The landscape, color and I are inseparably bound.  That’s my life, my landscape.
