Artist’s statement:

Relationships are the primary interest in creating my art - almost everything finds value (or lack thereof) when relating to something else. My art focus is specifically on the way color changes in relationship to its surroundings, especially when changing the light source. My work is a story of specific events in specific light. I have created a successful work of art when the viewer relates the painting to his/her own experience.
