My work is pretty simple. It is about joy, color and life. By focusing the eye through composition, heightening drama through contrast and intensifying emotion through color, I seek to capture the spiritual essence of the subject. When I get it right, the painting speaks to your soul. Their spirit connects to the essence of the captured moment. It nourishes the viewer by calming them or exciting them or just giving them what they need to let their mind relax and their feelings take over. Hopefully, the picture makes them happy.
