ARTIST STATEMENT

"In my paintings, I explore the impact of the environment on our psyche; I believe that the surroundings we create influence the way we behave. The experience of discovering a quality urban environment is always a subtle, nevertheless fantastic adventure.

My paintings reflect a voyage, a movement through space and time, a dynamic perception of our environment.  Through perceptions of light and shadows, depth and chromatic intensity, my intent is to signal the power of our surroundings and hopefully raise expectations in their regards.

We are shaped by these spaces as much as we shape them!"
