About

As varied as the many painters I admire,such as Edwin Lester,Frida Kahlo,Juda Ward,and Ernie Barnes,my own style has gone through stages from predominantly emotional expressiveness,to my present more careful rendering of details to reflect my impressions of a particular subject. I’m not ashamed to admit that my desire to paint the beauty I see is one of my main goals through painting,but in my careful examination of faces bringing my works to life. The use of colors is probably the most powerful draw for me when painting,I work in oils,and sometimes pastels,building my images in layers over bold drawings to give them depth and luminosity.
