I have created this site in an effort to share my paintings of women.
   I paint because of a deeply rooted desire to create something that expresses deep emotion. A retrospection of loving, giving, risking, suffering. Painting allows me to relax, daydream, escape from the demands of family and work. It is my retreat, my sanctuary.
    I paint women that breathe and feel and suffer and love. I try to
capture the inner pictures of their souls, their journey  ... and I try to
convey an overall sense of a deeper notion. These paintings evolve on their own, with their own expression. I usually have the pose in mind, but the colors and surrounding elements come together as I paint.
  And so I paint. In the midst of living I paint about life, the suffering, the hopes, the disappointments. I try to transcend reality by painting the imagined. And what I leave behind is my thoughts on life and death.
