“My influences are diverse. I love all forms of expressionism through art. I have learned that life is a constant, changing force, and I try to illustrate that through my art. It's one of the reasons that abstract is my favorite art form. Life itself is a wonderful piece of abstract art; its beauty and message are different for each viewer. Depending on what lens is chosen, it can change each time it is viewed. The greatest gift of life and art is the constant flow and energy creating a different journey for every participant. The choice is always there for the viewer to make. I absolutely love that about art I especially love it when I hear people discussing one of my works and happily describing what they see. To me, that is what art is all about. Each person may see something different, or they may see the same thing. Isn't that what life and art are all about? The diversity, the discovery, and the joy!”
