Inner Spirit

Throughout my lifetime, my vision has always been to create things of beauty. In portraiture, I believe it is my job to discover the real inner spirit, the true person and transfer it to the canvas. Beyond the physical, the human spirit and personality is everything. My goal is always to have my clients become co-creators of each piece.

Whether creating the physical person or a spiritual representation, it is important for me, as an artist, to create pieces that speak to the onlookers heart and soul. From a personal artistic level, my passion is to tap into the spiritual and create with blind faith, art works that come from within. These works seem to come from somewhere else, like words flowing in the form of imagery. It is my job to allow the imagery to evolve on it's own, as I become only the medium allowing imagery to be set free. To tell a story or move your inner being, this is my art.
