Artist Statement

My paintings represent the relationship between our nature and the universe.  I feel a deep connection with the circle which is dominant in my artwork.  These circles are a symbol of peace, hope and unity in our human relationship.  The sun, moon, stars and planets that I paint on the canvas are no different than each of us on this small planet we call Earth. Sometimes I feel the universe's energy and its light which pours onto humanity.  This guides me in my creative visions.
