I am a self taught artist based in Rochester, New York. My paintings are an amalgam of impressionism and expressionism with a range of subjects. I mainly work in acrylic paints and soft pastels due to their flexibility and vibrancy. They lend themselves well to the dream-like qualities I try to capture in each piece. My art explores the rational and the irrational. Reality and illusion and the line in-between. My art tends to focus on natural scenes -- seemingly untouched by the corrupting influence of man -- but even this is an illusion, since they are borne of human hand. ​ For me, the creation of art is much like the act of dreaming. It is a realm of comforting solace with endless possibilities. Each piece is an individual adventure in my artistic journey. It is my small contribution to beautifying the world. I hope my creations inspire highly personal emotional responses and reflections - if even just the fleeting sensation of a mood - or a vague memory. Most importantly, however, I want my art to speak for itself.
